Faith and political leaders condemned a shooting at Quebec's main mosque that left at least six people dead.
Vigils are scheduled to take this evening in Quebec City and Montreal, one night after two men entered the Quebec Islamic Cultural Center and opened fire, killing at least six men who were praying and injuring 19 more.
Police later arrested two suspects, two men aged between 20 and 30. The motive behind the attack remained unclear.
Pope Francis met with Quebec Archbishop Cardinal Gerald Lacroix in Rome today and assured him of his prayers for the victims of the attack on the mosque. A Vatican statement said the Pope highlighted the importance of Christians and Muslims remaining united in prayer in these moments.
