According to the Quebec provincial police, six people have been killed and eight wounded after shots were fired inside a mosque on Sunday night during evening prayers.

Both Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Quebec government have called the shooting an act of terrorism.
So far, two suspects have been arrested.
In a statement, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned the shooting, which he described as a “terrorist attack on Muslims in a centre of worship and refuge”. He said, “Muslim-Canadians are an important part of our national fabric, and these senseless acts have no place in our communities, cities and country.”
