Mosque shooting
suspect known for
far-right views
QUEBEC CITY (AP)
— The French Canadian
university student charged
with killing six Muslim men
during evening prayers at
a mosque was known for
far-right, nationalist views
and his support of the French
rightist party led by Marine
Le Pen.
Alexandre Bissonnette
was charged Monday with
six counts of first-degree
murder and five counts
of attempted murder over
the shooting rampage at a
Quebec City mosque that
Canada’s prime minister
called an act of terrorism
against Muslims.
Bissonnette made a
brief court appearance and
did not enter a plea in the
attack staged during evening
prayers Sunday. Wearing a
white prisoner jump suit, his
hands and feet shackled, he
stared down at the floor and
fidgeted, but did not speak.
The 27-year-old suspect,
who has espoused support
for Le Pen and U.S.
President Donald Trump
on his Facebook page, was
known to those who monitor
extremist groups in Quebec,
said François Deschamps,
an official with a refugee
advocacy group.
“It’s with pain and anger
that we learn the identity
of terrorist Alexandre
Bissonnette, unfortunately
known to many activists
in Quebec for taking
nationalist, pro-Le Pen and
anti-feminist positions at
Laval University and on
social media,” Deschamps
wrote on the Facebook page
of the group, Bienvenues
aux Refugiés, or Welcome to
Refugees.
and some cases maybe three

into,” Trump said in an ABC
interview.

the gender a child or parent
lists on the application to
become a scout. The Boy
Scouts had previously held
a policy that relied on the
gender listed on a child’s
birth certificate for those
programs.
The organization’s
leadership had considered a
recent case in Secaucus, New
Jersey, where an 8-year-old
transgender child had been
asked to leave his Scout troop
after parents and leaders found
out he is transgender. But the
statement issued Monday said
the change was made because
of the larger conversation
about gender identity going
on around the country.
“For more than 100
years, the Boy Scouts
of America, along with
schools, youth sports and
other youth organizations,
Boy Scouts will

DALLAS (AP) — The

it will allow transgender
children who identify as
boys to enroll in its boys

to the information on an
individual’s birth certificate

that approach is no longer

gender identity differently,
and these laws vary widely
from state to state.”
data from 379 shootings
in schools between 1990
and 2013 and found a link
between changes in national
and local unemployment
rates and the frequency of
shootings.
Most were targeted
attacks — often not fatal
— and suicides, according
to the study in Monday’s
journal Nature Human
Behaviour. Only six percent
of the shootings studied were
random mass shootings.

Study: School
shootings rise when
economy struggles
WASHINGTON (AP)
— School shootings rise
when the economy tanks,
according to a new study of
U.S. schools, even as violent
crime in general appears to
be unaffected.
Researchers analyzed
Northwestern Institute on
Complex Systems.
“Above 5.7 percent
(unemployment) you start to
really detect an in increase,”
in the frequency of school
shootings, Amaral said.
Some experts not
involved in the research
did not find the study
convincing, in part because
different types of gun
violence at school —
random and targeted, and
fatal and non-fatal — often
have completely different
motivations and root causes.
Criminologist James
Fox of Northeastern
University said the
hypothesis of economic
stress and gun violence
doesn’t apply to younger
shooters who wouldn’t be
thinking of entering the
workforce.

Trump’s fraud
expert registered in
three states
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)
— A man who President
Donald Trump has promoted
as an authority on voter
fraud was registered to vote
in multiple states during the
2016 presidential election,
the Associated Press has
learned.
Gregg Phillips, whose
unsubstantiated claim that
the election was marred by
3 million illegal votes was
tweeted by the president,
was listed on the rolls
in Alabama, Texas and
Mississippi, according to
voting records and election
officials in those states. He
voted only in Alabama in
November, records show.
In a post earlier this
month, Phillips described
“an amazing effort” by
volunteers tied to True
the Vote, an organization
whose board he sits on, who
he said found “thousands
of duplicate records and
registrations of dead
people.”
Trump has made an issue
of people who are registered
to vote in more than one
state, using it as one of
the bedrocks of his overall
contention that voter fraud
is rampant in the U.S. and
that voting by 3 to 5 million
immigrants illegally in the
country cost him the popular
vote in November.
The AP found that
Phillips was registered in
Alabama and Texas under
the name Gregg Allen
Phillips, with the identical
Social Security number.
Mississippi records list him
under the name Gregg A.
Phillips, and that record
includes the final four digits
of Phillips’ Social Security
number, his correct date of
birth and a prior address
matching one once attached
to Gregg Allen Phillips. He
has lived in all three states.
At the time of
November’s presidential
election, Phillips’ status was
“inactive” in Mississippi
and suspended in Texas.
Officials in both states told
the AP that Phillips could
have voted, however, by
producing identification and
updating his address at the
polls.
Citing concerns about
voters registered in several
states, the president last
week called for a major
investigation into his claim
of voter fraud, despite
his campaign lawyer’s
conclusion that the 2016
election was “not tainted.”
“When you look at the
people that are registered,
dead, illegal and two states,
