Police in Quebec City have charged a French-Canadian university student with murder following a deadly attack on a mosque in the city.
Alexandre Bissonnette, 27, was charged Monday evening with six counts of first degree murder and five counts of attempted murder in the shooting, which Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned as a "terrorist attack on Muslims."
More than 50 people were at the Quebec Islamic Cultural Center when the shooting erupted late Sunday. A police spokeswoman, Christine Coulombe, said the six victims ranged in age from 35 to about 70. Eight others were wounded in the attack, including five who are in critical condition.
A second person was detained by police as a suspect, but is now being considered a witness.
Police did not give a motive for the attack and it is not clear if anyone else was involved in the shooting.
Speaking to Parliament Monday, Trudeau said the victims were targeted simply because of their religion, and he told Muslims who live in Canada, "We are with you."
