Suspect Is Held in Quebec Mosque Shooting That Killed 6

By IAN AUSTEN and CRAIG S. SMITH JAN. 30, 2017

QUEBEC CITY — A man was in custody on Monday after a mass shooting in a mosque in Quebec City that killed six men and wounded eight others, Canadian officials said. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the episode a “terrorist attack on Muslims.”

The attack, on Sunday evening, shook Canada, where mass shootings are uncommon. The country has also become known as a beacon for refugees fleeing warfare and terrorism in Muslim-majority nations.

The authorities initially said that there were two suspects, but Quebec’s provincial police agency said on Monday that only one man was a suspect and that another man — also arrested on Sunday evening — was a witness. Court officials in Quebec identified the two men arrested as Alexandre Bissonnette, 27, and Mohamed el Khadir, who was said to be in his late 20s or early 30s. It was not immediately clear which man was the suspect and which was the witness.

1. The witness is Khadir, and the shooter is Bissonnette, and f**k the media for not

pointing that out. right wing sites, are already spewing Khadir as the perpetrator

3. Has that been verified?

Canada often takes it's time identifying suspects.

on edit: It appears it has been, not surprising.

6. Yes

He apparently called 911 and confessed within a few minutes. Said he felt guilty.

8. Then they shouldn't release ANY names until that has been done. There is no doubt that

the Fake News will still push the lie for a while.

Not unlike the time when NY Post misidentified the Boston Marathon Bombers

Just irresponsible assholes

11. Absolutely

My MIL told me that the CBC pulled the names as soon as one of them was said to be a witness but it was already all over the place.

2. Some news stories are suggesting the first guy is the suspect

Man #2 was just a witness.

4. Now being reported that Alexandre Bissonnette was sole shooter

Also some evidence floating around Twitter that he was was an Alt-right type.

5. Why would a blue eyed white guy without a beard be a suspect in a mosque?

What would he be doing there?

also, news reports said that Bissonnette called 9-11 expressing regret over doing what he did.

7. Well hello, new friend. It would appear he's an alt-right piece of shit...

...who went to murder innocent Muslims during prayer.

Those neo-nazi bastards surely are the scum of the earth, don't you agree?

[Libman77]

9. Yes, agree

And their spiritual leader is Donald Trump.

14. Ah, his regrets...

His regret is that he was just a stupid person who wanted to be special, instead of a psychopath who can shrug what he did off.
It's not so easy to someone who is relatively sane to just kill people who aren't an immediate threat, and it's certainly not easy to experience death by firearm if your only exposure is video games.
Let him rot in prison, living with the responsibility for his actions for a long, long time.

Alex - live the hell that is to watch people die and their families suffer night after night because of you in your dreams - as many of my battle-weary cohorts still do.

15. i am just shaking my head what things are happening

[arthritisR_US]

16. Bissonnette is a white supremacist, huuuuuggge supporter of

LePen in France and your Shitgibbon pResident. He is the only suspect and will be in court today, raids are ongoing looking into known associates of Bissonnette.

17. Something tells me we're about to hear a lot about mental illness real soon

A disservice to both the mentally ill AND Muslims.
