Six people have been killed and eight injured in a shooting at a mosque and cultural centre in Quebec City.
The Canadian prime minister has called it a “terrorist attack on Muslims”.
As dozens of people, reportedly mostly men, attended evening
prayers, two masked gunmen are said to have burst into the mosque just
before 8pm on Sunday night, opening fire. Some women and children were
also reportedly present.
Police were quickly on the scene and reports say two suspects were
arrested after a chase. No details have been given about them or what
prompted the attack.
The shooting happened in the Sainte-Foy district, about 10 kilometres to the west of Quebec City’s historic centre.
