University student identified as shooter in deadly mosque attack
NY Post ^

A French-Canadian university student was identified Monday as the alleged shooter who killed six people and wounded 19 others as they prayed in a Quebec City mosque — an assault the Canadian prime minister called a “terrorist attack.”

The suspect, Alexandre Bissonnette, 27, was an anthropology and political science student at the University of Laval, the oldest French-language university in North America, a source told Reuters.

Bissonnette — who was not previously known to police — lived with his parents in a single-family home on Tracel Street in the Cap-Rouge district, where police conducted a search Monday.

Bissonnette’s father is listed in the sales deed as an investigator, the Montreal Gazette reported.

Authorities earlier Monday named two suspects, but a Canadian of Moroccan descent was later said to be a witness to the Sunday night bloodbath at the Centre Culturel Islamique de Québec in the Ste-Foy.

I’m wondering about the gun.
Early/mid-accounts indicated it was a “real” AK-47.
Presence/absence of a “happy switch” would seriously affect which angle to believe.

Then we will need to put a hold on all immigration and visitation from Canadians and build a wall along our northern border and the entire border between Canada and Alaska.

In all fairness every one should wait until all the facts come out. He might be a lone white gunman for reasons we know not, much like Dylan Roof fit the description. Such things have happened before and it does not mean there is a conspiracy. Let the left speculate, the right should wait to get the facts before folks go off half-cocked (so to speak.

I hate to say it but I am wondering about the gun angle. Supposedly Canada with its 5-round self loading rifle magazine limit such acts should not occur.

Quebec is full of racists, nationalists and separatists, but none of them are right-wingers.

Probably a recent convert to Islam. And I have heard reports agreeing with that.

“...Jean-Philippe Cauchon, on Facebook. Photos of him wearing a kifaya along with at least one post mentioning the liberation of Palestine, and one picture, of all places, Morocco.”

As someone else reported here, there is speculation the two were a couple, and the Moroccan had been booted from his mosque because of that.

"Look for MSM to blame Trump for this for the next few days."

Already happening. Daily Mail article already has an article with this headline:

White university student named as the sole suspect accused of killing six men at Quebec City mosque - one day after Canadian PM condemned Trump's immigration ban

with this statement in the article:
" A friend of the student's told DailyMail.com that Bissonnette was pro-Donald Trump and that they had engaged in political arguments about him. "Based on the conversations that I had with him during the American presidential campaign, it's true he is pro-Trump,' the student, who asked to remain anonymous, said.

27 year old male still in university, still living with parents. I bet he has a long history of mental illness since mid to late adolescence.

It seems like we shouldn’t laugh at such a thing, but I think this doctored image will live on longer than the original. LMAO.
