Trial for alleged Quebec City mosque shooter to begin in March 2018
QUEBEC — The trial for the man accused of gunning down six men inside a Quebec City mosque will take place next March.
Alexandre Bissonnette, 27, faces six counts of first-degree murder and six of attempted murder using a restricted firearm.
The men, aged between 39 and 60, were killed when a gunman stormed the mosque last Jan. 29 and opened fire as they were attending prayer.
Superior Court Justice Raymond W. Pronovost announced the March 26 date during a hearing Friday at the Quebec City courthouse. The trial is expected to last about two months.
