加拿大魁北克市内一家清真寺发生致命枪击之后,警方对一名法裔加拿大大学生以谋杀罪提出指控。

27岁的亚历山大·比索内特星期一晚上被指控犯有六项一级谋杀罪和五项谋杀未遂罪。加拿大总理特鲁多谴责这一事件是“对穆斯林的恐怖袭击”。

枪击事件是星期天晚上发生的,当时在魁北克伊斯兰文化中心内有50多人。警方女发言人克里斯汀·库伦说,6名受害者的年龄从35岁到70岁。还有8人在袭击中受伤,其中5人伤势严重。

警方还拘留了另外一名嫌疑人,但目前此人被视为证人。

警察没有说明袭击的动机,目前也不清楚是否有其他人涉案。

加拿大皇家警察警长马丁·普兰德说,目前袭击案作为国内事件调查。他补充说,警方将收集更多的信息和证据,然后向前推进。

加拿大总理特鲁多星期一对议会表示,受害者仅仅因为他们的宗教信仰而成为攻击目标,他对生活在加拿大的穆斯林说,“我们与你在一起。”

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."
