Justice Authorities: Authorities and Friday Prayers

justice authorities: As night set in, three victims lay in critical condition, and the motive for the bloodshed remained under investigation, according to CTV. Prime Minister Mark Rutte said authorities were trying to determine whether the attack had terror motives. Authorities seized a Turkish-born suspect after a manhunt that convulsed the historic city of nearly 350,000 people for most of the day. Justice Minister Ferd Grapperhaus said the suspect, identified as Gokmen Tanis, 37, was known to justice authorities and had a criminal record, but would not elaborate. The shooting came three days after 50 people were killed when an immigrant-hating white supremacist opened fire at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, during Friday prayers. Police said they also detained another man on suspicion of involvement but released no details. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
