Two men were arrested following last night's shooting at a Quebec City mosque that left six people dead and 19 wounded, in what Quebec's premier described as a "murderous act directed at a specific community."
Thirty-nine people escaped the Centre Culturel Islamique de Québec (Islamic cultural centre of Quebec) in the Sainte-Foy neighbourhood without injuries, according to Quebec provincial police Sgt. Christine Coulombe.
Initially, it was reported that eight people were wounded, but authorities updated that number to 19 Monday morning.
Five were still in critical condition in hospital Monday morning, including three people who are in intensive care. Another 13 people have been released, according to a hospital spokesperson.
Coulombe said the people who died in the shooting, which occurred during Sunday evening prayers, ranged in age from 35 to 70.

The trouble is that shouting "Allahu Akbar" isn't necessarily indicative these days. Heck, in a school where I work, many (disruptive) kids will yell the phrase on occasion, probably to be controversial or edgy. (I hope it hasn't reached même stage yet.)

Or, you know, if you are a muslim and you think you are about to be killed you might want to make a quick prayer to God.

I've also heard the younglings shout it. Seems to be a replacement for "YOLO". I'm still a fan of "Leeeeroy!" but that only works before you do the dumb thing.
