Developing News On Canada Quebec City Terrorist Attack On A Mosque . by Emmafrancis: 8:35am On Jan 30, 2017 |
Six people are dead after a shooting at a mosque in Quebec City, according to Quebec Provincial Police. Eight people were injured. The attack, which took place at the city's Quebec Islamic Cultural Center, is being investigated as an act of terrorism by police. In what was described as a coordinated attack, witnesses say at least two gunmen wearing black fired indiscriminately into the dozens of worshipers in the mosque. One person has been arrested, the department said. A previous statement indicated that two arrests had been made. It's not clear what caused the discrepancy. The Canadian province's premier, Philippe Couillard, called the shooting a terrorist act on Twitter. He added that he would ask the National Assembly to fly the Quebec flag at half-staff. Police said in a later tweet that the situation was under control. "The site is secure and the occupants (of the mosque) were evacuated. The investigation continues." Police are not ruling out the existence of accomplices. A statement on the mosque's Facebook page urged caution. "Please wait for preliminary results (of the investigation) before circulating rumors," it says. "The situation is very critical. May Allah give us endurance." At least five of those injured in the incident were receiving treatment at the University Hospital of Quebec. Other victims are in hospitals throughout the city, hospital spokesman Richard Fournier tells CNN. @BBCBreaking tweeted : Quebec mosque shooting latest: • 6 dead, 8 wounded • 2 arrests • "terrorist attack" - Canada PM @JustinTrudeau Canada has taken in tens of thousands of refugees, especially from Syria, in the last few months. www.edition.cnn.com/2017/01/29/americas/quebec-mosque-shooting/
