Police officers patrol the perimeter near a mosque after a shooting in Quebec City, Canada. The attack was out of character for Quebec City, a city of just over 500,000 which reported just two murders in all of 2015. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stood up for his nation's one million Muslims, showing solidarity after the recent mosque attack in Quebec. Vigils were planned for Montreal and Quebec City, the provincial capital, as well as in Edmonton. Citizens for Public Justice, a group of Canadian Christians, churches and other religious congregations, expressed their solidarity with the Muslim community of Quebec City.
