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.

And Polish definitely got the short end of the stick when it comes to vowels.
How do you say, “Can I buy an “aeiou”, Pat?” in Polish?
Bad luck for Trudeau-fils. How is going to back out of his recent statement on open borders?
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
“Police reports name Bashir al-Taweed and Hasssan Matatyi, Syrians who entered Canada as refugees , as the suspects. They are in custody.”
That’s a hoax report.
There is also a hoax report that it was two white supremacists.
Best info is one was Morrocan and one French Canadian.
gator, you freaking win the thread. Thanks for cracking me up.
Try google translate. It’s free.
Allahu Le`Akbar?
It’s like they have a different word for everything
not really...70% of our vernacular is just Anglicized Norman
French...
The French stole most of the vowels from the Serbs and lord it over them by using 5 when 2 would do.
you mean like ‘le fauteuil’...(a wooden armchair. btw}
"Editor’s note: This piece originally stated that Reuters reported the names of the assailants. However, the information came from a Reuters parody social-media account. We regret the error and have deleted the information."
Wow.
CNN is already proclaiming it loudly as "anti-muslim terror".
what world do you live in, French speaking Canadians landed in Normandy and helped liberate France in ww2
Québécois French is difficult to understand as the are a lot of false stops and slurs, kind of like Cajun French.
I don’t usually speak Arabic, but when I do, it’s always with a Québécois accent.
Canada needs more gun control. Oh, wait. Canada said Saturday that they would bring in all the muzz slimes that Trump is temporarily banning.
They were so late to the party all they got were k,l,s, I, w and z. Try making words with those.
