Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre says a funeral service will be held in the city on Thursday afternoon for three of the six men who died in last Sunday's mosque shooting in Quebec City.
Coderre tweeted this morning the ceremony will be held at Maurice-Richard Arena for Abdelkrim Hassane, Khaled Belkacemi and Aboubaker Thabti.
There will be prayers for the three other victims.
Alexandre Bissonnette, 27, was arrested Sunday night following the massacre in which 19 people were also wounded, including two who were still in critical condition on Tuesday.
On Monday, Bissonnette was charged with six counts of first-degree murder and five of attempted murder using a restricted firearm.
Police say a gunman stormed a mosque in Quebec City's Ste-Foy district and opened fire on men who were attending prayer. Authorities have refused to specify what type of firearm was used in the mass shooting.
