Six men died in the shooting during evening prayers at the Centre Culturel Islamique de Québec (Islamic cultural centre of Quebec). Nineteen people were also wounded.

Police also said it's too early to know the motive, what charges may be laid or when the suspect will appear in court.

Premier Philippe Couillard has described the shooting as a "murderous act directed at a specific community."

So the arrested Muslim guy is actually a witness??

Yes it's confirmed. Shooter was Alexandre Bissonnette.

So now where are all the bloody hindus saying it was Muslim on Muslim attack?

They were also spreading misinformation after the terror attack in Germany, claiming the suspect was Pakistani!

Mods please start banning those spreading propaganda here.

One witness told a local radio station that the guy shouted Allah hu Akbar before firing, not sure how credible this is. I think it would be premature to make any assumptions at this point in time.

No No I am not disputing what they are saying, I am saying there is a lot of confusion, I was actually saying we can't say anything about attacker until more details are confirmed. Although there is no surprise that the Indian trolls were quick to latch on to whatever they could.

Third time in a month were far right propagandists try to blame islam for actions that have nothing to do with it. The first was in the airport in Florida, the second was with that car in Melburne, now this.
