Winnipeg mosque shooting denounced by Carney

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney denounced a shooting at the Rahma Islamic Centre in Winnipeg as an act of Islamophobia after no one was injured in the Wednesday night incident.

“This violent act of Islamophobia is appalling and has no place in Canada. I'm grateful no one was injured,” Carney said on X on Thursday. He said law enforcement had his full support as officers worked to bring the perpetrators to justice.

The National Council of Canadian Muslims said on X that people shot at the center from a vehicle and then attacked it with a blunt weapon while community members were inside.

Winnipeg police are leading the investigation. They had not identified any suspects or made any arrests.
