Authorities identify shooters as "David MJ Aurine" (with a photo of Davis Aurini) and Mathieu Fornier? I'm assuming this is a mistake, someone mistakenly named Aurini as the shooter, like when they name Sam Hyde every time there's a school shooting. Still this is a horrific situation. I know we hate to jump to conclusions re: hate crimes but this looks bad.

EDIT: more detail on the situation

"Multiple gunmen opened fire in a Quebec mosque during evening prayers, killing five people, according to multiple reports.

Quebec City Constable Étienne Doyon told reporters that police received a call around 7:55 p.m. on Sunday, stating that shots had been fired at the Centre Culturel Islamique de Québec on Sainte-Foy St.
Reuters reported that five people were killed in the mass shooting. Police tweeted there were deaths and injuries but wouldn’t confirm how many victims there are.

Doyon said two suspects had been arrested, but refused to provide further details.

“Why is this happening here? This is barbaric,” the mosque’s president, Mohamed Yangui, told Reuters.

Yangui was not inside the mosque during the shooting, but he told Reuters that he received frantic calls from those who were. Dozens of people were reportedly inside the mosque at the time of the shooting.

Witnesses say about a dozen people were wounded. Yangui did not know how many people had been injured.

A live video feed on the mosque’s Facebook page showed images of multiple police vehicles and yellow police tape. The investigation is ongoing.

Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale tweeted Sunday he is deeply saddened by the loss of life, his office says no motive has been confirmed.

Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard reacted on Twitter by calling it “barbaric violence.”

“All our solidarity is with those who are close to the victims, the injured and their families,” he said.

Montreal police are stepping up patrols around any sites on the island that could be potential targets, a spokesperson told Postmedia News late Sunday.

Police launched an investigation last June after the severed head of a pig was left in front of one of the doors of the mosque, wrapped in cellophane with bows, ribbon and a card that read, “bonne appétit.”

The incident took place during Ramadan, a month-long celebration during which Muslims fast between sunrise and sunset. Muslim dietary laws forbid eating pork at any time.

Three weeks later, an Islamophobic letter entitled “What is the most serious: a pig’s head or a genocide” was distributed in the vicinity."

CNN originally reported that the shooter had a "Quebecois" name. They have since deleted that bit of information.

Apparently the shooters shouted "Allahu Akbar" as they fired.

Could be Sunni vs. Shia, could be a far-right false flag. Still unknown.

None of the major news networks are going live right now.

With apologies to SamuelRoberts and 2Wycked, on Twitter, one of the related searches is "David M J Aurine".

Scott Adams wrote a beautiful blog post today, summarized, "The people who are merely scared about Trump are probably good people, but beware of the Trump critic who gleefully criticizes the negative impact of Trump's policies."

The following is a normal, healthy grief response.

But this is the gleeful shit Scott Adams was talking about.

I think it'll be white Québécois shooters, Trudeau will be crying on TV tomorrow and Liberals will be jizzing their pants and blaming Trump.

Local guy here. I've been following the story since it came out. I can tell you that the names HAVE NOT been released yet and that the 2 suspects have apparently been arrested. That's it for now.

Post: #11

Well we will hopefully learn more by tomorrow or the next day. Scary stuff.

Reddit says the two shooters are Syrian refugees.

Hassan Matti and Bashir al-Taweed.

If I'm wrong, it's because I'm citing reddit and I apologize in advance.

CBC News interviewed one witness -- who wisely wants to stay anonymous -- claiming that the shooters were shouting "Allahu Akbar".

This must be one of them whatchacall'em, theological discussions in Islam?

Well known local news anchor just reported that it was "2 Québécois". (by definition, anybody living in the province is one...but we all understand what he means).

EDIT: Said they were born here as well.

Could easily be a convert. Like Martin Couture-Rouleau, or Michael Zehaf-Bibeau.

The Quebec government is already calling this a terrorist attack. My guess is that the suspect's names are being withheld because they're still interrogating them to investigate whether there is a larger cell operating. That tells me they have at least something to suspect a higher level of sophistication/coordination than some lone-wolf far-right terrorist.

EDIT: Confirming what I said earlier:

99% sure are both pure laine.

The attack did happen in Québec city, where French-Canadian whites or Québécois pure laine form the overwhelming majority of the population, at 90%, and the french canadian birthrate in the area is extremely high. It is rare to see longterm immigrants, even those of european ancestry . Though french-speaking africans and north african muslims live there, many of them are students.

^^ Yeah I agree. Anybody hoping for a false flag attack by a refugee or some type of islam on islam attack is wasting their time. I'll be the first to eat my crow if I'm wrong but I know this city pretty well and from what I'm hearing, it sounds like a cheap attack by some far-right extremists.

Post: #24

Agree, Quebec City is possibly the whitest big city in all of north America, muslims would have struck in Montreal instead.

Anyone else notice that a mosque gets shot up 48 hours after the evil, racist, Trump signs those executive orders? Sorry, but I don't put anything past Soros.
