One of two Canadian soldiers hit by a car in an apparent terrorist attack has died of his injuries. Quebec provincial police said he died early Tuesday. The soldier's name was not released at the request of the family. The other soldier's injuries were described as less serious.

The suspect was shot by police, and later died, after he struck the two members of the Canadian military with his car in a city near Montreal. Royal Canadian Mounted Police spokesman David Falls said Monday that the suspect "was known to Federal authorities" and "authorities were concerned that he had become radicalized."

Quebec provincial police Lt. Michel Brunet said earlier that police ended up shooting the man after a car chase in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, about 26 miles (42 kilometers) southeast of Montreal. After the man hit the two soldiers, he fled the scene in his vehicle, triggering a police chase that ended with the man losing control and his car rolling over several times.

Brunet said the man exited the car and was shot. Brunet said they found a knife on the ground but he could not say if the suspect had it in his hand when police fired their weapons. Television images showed a large knife in the grass near the flipped-over car. Brunet said he didn't know if the soldiers were wearing uniforms at the time they were struck.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper was briefed about the incident by the head of Canada's national police force, the head of the military and his national security adviser. "First and foremost our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families; we're closely monitoring the situation and obviously we will make available all of the resources of the federal government," Harper said.


Maybe it'll take a while, but
until more facts become known,
so that there can be no errors
like in the past, we will find out what
inspired the terrorist to inflict such
mayhem.

I would be surprised, however if
such a story makes the
lead of any newspapers. They're
already doing their best to
muffle any speculation, I'm sure.

Which is really unusual, since most of the time the American media is absolutely fantastic at covering stuff that happens outside the US to non-Americans.

Shots fired inside Canadian parliament

This might even make the US news.

No word yet on condition of soldier shot at War Memorial across the street from Parliament.

That's not being reported here George. Still no word on the soldier's condition. Hospital only reports it has admitted two people with non life threatening gunshot wounds.

Parliamentary Sergeant-at-Arms reported to have taken out the shooter in Parliament.

I've heard that as well. CBC showed a picture from inside the hall - dozens of green chairs stacked up against the doors to keep potential shooter(s) out.

It was the NYT that reported the soldier's death - they've pulled the link.

Have you heard anything, anything, about the shooters?

RCMP confirm there was no incident at the Rideau Centre shopping mall.

It is possible there was only one shooter.

Awaiting police news conference.

It appears now to have been a lone shooter. They've ID him but other than his name, year of birth and that he was born in Canada, no details.

Guess what...

Quote:
 
Canadian police are investigating a man identified as Michael Zehaf-Bibeau as a possible suspect in the shootings on Wednesday around parliament in Ottawa, a source familiar with the matter said.

Police said the male suspect in the attacks was dead but did not confirm he was Zehaf-Bibeau. Some U.S. government sources said the shooter was born Michael Joseph Hall but changed his name to Zehaf-Bibeau.

Two U.S. officials said that U.S. agencies have been advised that the shooter was a Canadian convert to Islam. One of the officials said the man was from Quebec.

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service declined to comment on the gunman's identity.

Canada's capital was jolted by the fatal shooting of a soldier and an attack on the parliament building on Wednesday, with gunshots fired outside a room where Prime Minister Stephen Harper was speaking.

The shooting was the second attack on Canadian soldiers in a week.

On Monday, Martin Couture-Rouleau, a 25-year-old who converted to Islam last year, rammed his car into two soldiers in the Quebec town of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu and was shot dead by police. One of the soldiers later died.
