Updated: 6 dead, 2 arrested after shooting at Quebec City mosque
CBC News ^ | Jan 30, 2017

Quebec provincial police say six people are dead and eight were wounded after shots were fired inside a mosque on Sunday night during evening prayers.

Sûreté du Québec Sgt. Christine Coulombe says the victims range in age from 35 to 70.

Thirty-nine people escaped the Islamic cultural centre of Quebec in the Sainte-Foy neighbourhood without injuries, according to Coulombe.

Both Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Quebec government have called the shooting an act of terrorism.

Earlier in the evening, Quebec City Police Const. Étienne Doyon said mostly men were gathered inside the mosque when the shooting began just before 8 p.m.

A witness, who asked to remain anonymous, told CBC's French-language service Radio-Canada that two masked individuals entered the mosque.

"It seemed to me that they had a Québécois accent. They started to fire, and as they shot they yelled, 'Allahu akbar!' The bullets hit people that were praying. People who were praying lost their lives. A bullet passed right over my head," said the witness.

I suspect a Quebecois convert plus an immigrant.

Islam is like a virus, a slow motion "World War Z".

“Rumour from where?”

Canadians listening to the radio in Canada.

Two suspects in custody, though the officials won’t say a word about them or their motives right now.

Hmmm.

Quebec is French speaking, just as France is French speaking. Not everyone in the world speaks English although English has spread widely in the last twenty years through Commerce.

What a gift they handed Trump! I’m sure tomorrow he’ll be happily twitting away. “Bad people, we got to keep them out. Trudeau very weak. Sad.”

And I can just hear the propaganda organs telling themselves: “Can’t these bastard behave for just 10 minutes?? Just as we had Trump in retreat they go and blow it for us!”

Roadrunner vs coyote.

Not quite appropriate to suggest how happy Trump will be about it, but yes, certainly far better this than a reative, vigilante, “hate” crime.

Well that’s BS. Everybody should speak English. Didn’t we save their asses in WWII? :)

WWII? The Québécois still haven’t gotten over losing the French and Indian War, back when George Washington, who arguably started it, was still fighting FOR the British.

“It’s like they have a different word for everything.”

Fortunately, French women have no word for “no”! ;)

Trudeau just announced that refugees are welcome in Canada. I wish him luck with that.

Motives? Workplace violence, of course. Somebody on the scene must work there. Hence, workplace violence.
