QUEBEC — Timeline of events following the deadly shooting at a mosque in Quebec City in 2017:

Jan. 29, 2017 — A lone man enters the Islamic Cultural Centre in Quebec City during evening prayers and begins shooting, killing six men and wounding 19 others. “I’ve decided to plead guilty to all of the charges ... in order to prevent the families of the victims from having to relive” the horrors of the attack, said Bissonnette, who also faced six counts of attempted murder. Described in the immediate aftermath by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as a “terrorist attack,” the shooting spree was a brutal blow to Canada’s multicultural society, and to a nation that welcomes tens of thousands of refugees each year.
A court in Quebec City accepts guilty pleas to six murders and six attempted murders tendered by Alexandre Bissonnette on March 26 and lifts restrictions on reporting the pleas after he passes a psychiatric evaluation. The charges relate to the January 2017 Islamophobic shooting at a mosque that Justin Trudeau described as a terrorist attack.
