President Donald Trump called Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau following a Sunday night shooting at a mosque in Quebec.

Trump expressed condolences and “offered to provide any assistance as needed,” according to a release from the prime minister’s office Monday.


Six men were killed and eight wounded in the shooting during Sunday evening prayers at the Centre Culturel Islamique de Québec. One suspect was arrested at the scene and another apprehended nearby, but police have not yet identified a motive for the attack.

"We condemn this attack in the strongest possible terms," White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Monday afternoon. "It's a terrible reminder of why we must remain vigilant and why the president is taking steps to be pro-active, rather re-active, when it comes to our nation's safety and security."
