There are reports of a mass shooting, injuries, and casualties at the Cultural Islamic Center in Quebec City, Canada.

A mass shooting at a mosque in Quebec City has left six people dead and eight wounded. The targeted mosque is the Cultural Islamic Center of Quebec. A suspect has been apprehended. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has labelled the episode a “terrorist attack on Muslims.” The incident is also notable for the erroneous reporting that soon followed on the shooting suspect’s identity (that he was Moroccan) and the Prime Minister’s response.
