Canadian Attack

24-year-old Corporal Nathan Cirillo (additional picture here) was, by some reports, guarding the Canadian Tomb of the Unknown Soldier when he was shot dead.

His murderer, a recent convert to Islam, whose motives are completely unimaginable, was in turn shot by the Sgt. at Arms of Parliament, an RCMP.

Following tweets, as repeated this morning by commenters on Ace of Spades, at one point we were up to three shooting locations and possibly as many as five shooters. Strangely enough, the very first reports proved the most accurate, with rumors abounding until well after the murderer was shot.

Also, Canada was calling it terrorism right away. Crazy, huh?
