To Honour The Victims Of Quebec City Mosque Shooting, Eiffel Tower Goes Dark.
To honour the lives of the victims of the Quebec City mosque shooting, Eiffel Tower went dark early Tuesday morning.
The City of Paris’ Twitter account issued a tweet Monday announcing, “In tribute to the victims of the attack tonight, @LaTourEiffel will be extinguished after midnight.”
En hommage aux victimes de l'attentat survenu cette nuit, @LaTourEiffel sera éteinte à partir de minuit.
The Tower’s Twitter account also stated, “I will turn my lights off tonight, at midnight, to show my support to Quebec and Canadian people.”
I will turn my lights off tonight, at midnight, to show my support to Quebec and Canadian people. #EiffelTower
The move was appreciated and supported by world leaders from around the globe and they too offered their support to the Canadian government on Monday.
Six people were killed and five others were wounded when a lone gunman opened fire at a Quebec City mosque during evening prayers. Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard termed the act “barbaric violence” and expressed solidarity with the victims' families.
