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.

    That seems to be assuming a level of control and reasoning often missing in mass murderers.

    The logical thinking pattern might be as simple as "whoo hoo love this new anti-depressant pill time to set a new high score" which is a well known pharmacology problem thats happened a zillion times. Weird to think you just give someone a pill and they start killing, but it certainly happens a lot over the last couple decades.

    The problem of "I'm Shia they're Sunni therefore kaboom" can't be solved at the level of people willing to complain about it, by definition they're not the problem. Kind of like gun control, which only harasses non-criminals, therefore by definition doesn't prevent gun crime very much.

    Oh look, here is VLM endorsing the invective and rhetoric.
    I am so not surprised.
    You are the problem.
