A shooting at a Quebec City mosque during evening prayers left six people dead in an attack that Canadas prime minister called an act of terrorism. Police initially arrested two men but later said just one remains a suspect.
More than 50 people were at the Quebec Islamic Cultural Centre when the shooting erupted Sunday night. In addition to the six who died, five were in critical condition and 12 others suffered minor injuries, University of Quebec Hospital Centre spokeswoman Genevieve Dupuis said Monday. The dead ranged in age from 35 to 65.
Quebec City court clerk Isabelle Ferland identified Alexandre Bissonnette and Mohamed el Khadir as the suspects. Police later said one of them was just a witness, though they did not say which.
One was arrested at the scene and another nearby, in his car on a bridge near dOrléans where he called 911 to say he wanted to cooperate with police. Police said they did not believe there were other suspects but were investigating.

They minimized the Algerian islam half of

Unfortunately, this one might turn out to be what the MSM and leftists in general are hoping for. One article said Bissonnette’s Facebook page linked Trump’s and Marine La Pen’s FB pages, or websites.
I guess the authorities will give details when they’re ready.

Police later said one of them was just a witness, though they did not say which. Which means Alexandre Bissonnette was the witness and Mohamed el Khadir was the shooter. Otherwise, we'd have been told immediately.

Fox News

(from within Canada) ... The governments of Canada and Quebec are playing this out for every last moment of virtue signalling, there is almost no indication on Canadian media that this could even potentially be sectarian violence but at the same time, the lack of low-hanging fruit declarations makes many of us suspicious that this is already known.
Thus we seem to have a highly managed and delayed transmission of actual facts, designed to create as much narrative-friendly response as possible before actual facts are allowed to stand for themselves.

Bissonnette called the police and turned himself in. That is not the typical action of a mass shooter.

If they’re holding back the information it’s more likely it’s the Muslim... the press doesn’t protect ‘white guys’...
