TORONTO: University student Alexandre Bissonnette is the sole suspect in a mass shooting at a Quebec City mosque that killed six worshippers on Sunday night, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters.

A second person being held in connection with the shooting is now considered a witness and not a suspect, the source said.
