Two suspects are in custody after a shooting at a mosque in Quebec City left six people dead and eight injured, officials said early Monday.

Quebec City police confirmed to ABC News that the two suspects being held are men in their 20s.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the shooting a "terrorist attack on Muslims," and offered his condolences.

“While authorities are still investigating and details continue to be confirmed, it is heart-wrenching to see such senseless violence. Diversity is our strength, and religious tolerance is a value that we, as Canadians, hold dear," Trudeau said.

Christine Coulombe of the Quebec Provincial Police confirmed the number of victims and said that 39 others escaped the scene without injury.

Trudeau called the attack "cowardly" in a tweet earlier in the night.

This looks like a provocation. Look at what Kremlin's propganda arm is reporting (RT):

"A witness, who refused to be identified, told Radio Canada that one of the attackers shouted “Allahu akbar” as he opened fire."
