Two suspects are in custody after gunmen opened fire in a mosque in Quebec City resulting six people dead and eight more injured, Quebec officials said this morning.
Quebec l Police confirms 39 victims escaped the scene without injury.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the attack "an act of terror against Muslims," in a statement.
He says, “While authorities are still investigating and details continue to be confirmed, it is heart-wrenching to see such senseless violence. Diversity is our strength, and religious tolerance is a value that we, as Canadians, hold dear."
Trudeau calls this attack "cowardly" in a tweet last night.
