The terror suspects were identified as Mohamed Khadir and Alexandre Bissonnette, the Canadian TV network TVA Nouvelles reported. They were arrested soon after the shooting at the Quebec Islamic Cultural Centre Sunday night and were expected to appear in court later Monday, police told reporters.
One of the gunman actually turned himself in, calling 911 less than 20 minutes later and giving officers his location so they could arrest him, police said.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned the attack, calling it a “terrorist attack on Muslims.”
The attackers were students at Université Laval, a school in Quebec, a source close to the investigation told Radio Canada, saying one was Moroccan. Police said the attackers were not on their radar. 0130 quebec shooting Expand / Contract
Five people were in critical condition and 12 others suffered minor injuries, University of Quebec Hospital Centre spokeswoman Genevieve Dupuis said Monday. The dead ranged in age from age 35 to 60.
Police did not reveal a possible motive. One suspect was arrested at the scene and another nearby in d'Orleans, and police said they did not believe there were other suspects.
One of the suspects was armed with an AK-47, the Le Soleil newspaper reported. One gunman reportedly was 27 years old.
A witness who asked to remain anonymous told Radio Canada the two gunmen were masked.
“It seemed to me that they had a Quebecois accent. They started to fire, and as they shot they yelled, 'Allahu akbar!' The bullets hit people that were praying. People who were praying lost their lives. A bullet passed right over my head,” the person said.

The largest number of victims of Islamic terror are Muslims.
AK-47, I thought gun control was perfect in Canada?
Most nations of North Africa and South Asia need to be added to a travel ban
Watch this story disappear down the MSM memory hole if it was moslem vs moslem.
“Whoopsie, never mind.”
so a muslim terrorizes a muslim and that is considered an act of anti muslim terror...
canucked up that is...
Since the attack was Muslim on Muslim, you can bet the story will get no more coverage after today.
It’s not geography. It’s ideology! Islam is the common denominator-whether the location of birth is Saudi Arabia or South Philly. ISLAM is the common disease. FACE that.
So, a Muzzie and a Muzzie convert?
Yes, the Shia/Sunni split is a big deal. Were the victims Shia and the bad guys Sunni — or the other way round?
Interesting, Moslem vs Moslem fighting now introduced to Canada from the middle east. I wonder which was Sunni and which was Shia?
I think I’ve read this story from six different news organizations.
They are almost word-for-word the same.
Whatever happened to the good old journalists who would do their own investigating and writing.
They are all just lazy.
Make it all of Africa and Asia. Europe can be added to make it less of a Muslim ban.
Remember, anything with a long barrel is an assault rifle...
A Moroccan “white supremacist”! Awesome! Bubba Abdullah.
Other attacker is probably a Muslim convert.
Islam breeds terrorism.
Something all the dhimmi morons condemning Trump have failed to grasp.
I have seen reports that the Mosque attacked is one of the more “Moderate” mosques.
Quebecois = "French speaking". More likely the witness noticed they had FRENCH accents. Morocco (and several other Muslim countries in the Mediterranean region) are former French colonies, and have lots of French speakers.
Considering the number of Muslims with European passports maybe we should extremely vet European travelers as well.
I would call that a war zone?
The names from an unconfirmed police tweet are
Bashir al-Taweed and Hassan Matti
