Quebec City mosque shooting: At least four reportedly killed | |
(35 minutes later) | |
At least four people have been killed in a shooting at a mosque in Quebec City, Canada. | |
Shots were fired at the the Quebec Islamic Cultural Centre on Sunday night, police said. | |
The centre's Facebook page posted video of police outside the scene, with a written comment that there are "some dead". | |
Police said two people had been arrested, but did not provide a number for those killed or injured. | |
A witness told Reuters news agency that up to three gunmen had been involved. The news agency also reported a "heavily armed tactical squad" had been seen entering the mosque. | |
The shooting happened at the mosque on chemin Sainte-Foy, one of two operated by the Islamic centre. | |
Video posted to social media showed a large number of emergency vehicles outside the mosque, with the area cordoned off by police. | |
The same mosque had a "gift-wrapped" pig's head left on its doorstep in June last year, with a note reading "bonne appetit". Muslims do not eat pork. |
