Kevin Tat

There has been a shoot out at a Muslim mosque in Quebec Canada. Six men were killed in the aftermath of the shooting and eight more are injured. The assailant was a caucasian teenager who after the shooting stated he immediately regretted his actions and notified the law enforcement and turned himself in, he may have been assisted by another man. The six victims were a college professor, two friends, a government worker, a butcher and a factory worker. These men were innocent people with families and occupations and were close to the vicinity of the mosque during the shooting. One suspect of African American descent was caught trying to flee the scene of the shooting but was later released after an interview. The motive of the attack at this time is unclear but for now the authorities are doing what they can to find out more about the situation.
