QUEBEC — In what Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Premier Philippe Couillard both called a “terrorist attack,” six people were killed and eight others injured in a shooting at a Quebec City mosque on Sunday.
Provincial police spokeswoman Christine Coulombe said 39 other people survived and that two suspects were in custody.
Coulombe said a joint terrorism task force that includes provincial police, the RCMP and Montreal police was deployed.
The victims are believed to be between 35 and about 70, she said.
