    Five people were killed after gunmen opened fire in a Quebec City mosque during evening prayers, the mosque's president told reporters on Sunday.

    Earlier, a witness told Reuters that up to three gunmen fired on about 40 people inside the Quebec City Islamic Cultural Center. Police put up a security perimeter around the mosque and declined to comment to reporters about the incident.

    "Why is this happening here? This is barbaric," said the mosque's president, Mohamed Yangui.


    In June 2016, a pig's head was left on the doorstep of the cultural center.

    Yangui, who was not inside the mosque when the shooting occurred, said he got frantic calls from people at evening prayers. He did not know how many were injured, saying they had been taken to different hospitals across Quebec City.

    Incidents of Islamophobia increased in Quebec in recent years amid a political debate over banning the niqab, or Muslim face covering. In 2013, police investigated after a mosque in the Saguenay region of Quebec was splattered with what was believed to be pig blood.

    What a horrible attack. Hopefully everyone who had a part in it will be brought to justice.

    Prayers for the victims. Truly awful. Hopefully Canada can catch those responsible.

    Just a reminder, the biggest killer of Muslims are other Muslims.

    Was this mosque a shia? I'm hearing the shooter yelled allah akbar before opening fire.

    I live in Quebec and I am 99% sure the shooters are white-supremacists. Extremists won't go and kill muslims, they'd do like in Paris and target "occidental" places like bars and things like that.

    Despite who may be responsible for the shooting violence is never the answer. RIP to the victims

    You've shown that you don't understand how bets work.
