A shooting at a Quebec City mosque during evening prayers left six people dead in an attack that Canada’s 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 d’Orléans 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. …

“Alexandre Bissonnette and Mohamed el Khadir as the suspects.”

We may need Sherlock Holmes to crack this case.

Reports already stated that it was Bisonnette who called the cops to turn himself in.

The Quebequer called coos almost immediately after saying he wanted to commit suicide and also give himself up.

The Moroccan did not.

Prayers for the people of Quebec City. Visited there last year and the people are great and the city is beyond beautiful.

I think we are going to find this another case so sudden jihad syndrome, but I could be mistaken.

“Nevermind” on a mysterious Middle Easterner who just fades into the woodwork.

Just like Oklahoma City.

People are such bad witnesses.

I'll bet I couldn't identify the man in the apartment above me and I've seen him 100 times.

(from the article):" One was arrested at the scene and another nearby, in his car on a bridge near d’Orléans where he called 911 to say he wanted to cooperate with police."

That statement lone, makes the situation highly suspect.
We are talking about approximately 23 people shot in a singular incident ; that seems highly unlikely with a single shooter.
