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.

    But this is exactly why no responsible news organization, let alone the White House, should rush to depict the shooter as Muslim and of Moroccan descent when so little is known about what happened. Yet not only did Fox and the Trump White House do exactly that, but worse, neither has retracted or corrected their claims long after it became clear that it was false

    That's because Trump is still in campaign mode rather than POTUS mode and primarily wants to appeal to his base...the ones who won't care or even notice if it turns out the real killer was a guy who liked Trump on facebook. The fact that Trumps ban will accomplish nothing more than ISIS propaganda makes no difference to him either, as even that, in a perverse way will likely make matters worse and in the process help to "make his case". Troll mod me if you want, but that really is my take on everything I'm seeing, This guy is even more scary than he is petty and immature.
