Chaos broke out in downtown Ottawa Wednesday and a Canadian soldier was killed following a series of shootings on and around Parliament Hill.
The mayhem started when a uniformed soldier standing guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was shot and wounded by an assailant who is believed to have hopped out of a Toyota Corolla. CPR was performed on the soldier, who the Globe and Mail later identified as Corporal Nathan Cirillo, 24, and he was transported to hospital by ambulance. CBC News and the Globe report that the soldier was a reservist who served in Hamilton from the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada.
His death was confirmed at 1:45 p.m. by the Ottawa Police. Canada's Minister of Employment and Social Development Jason Kenney tweeted his condolences to the family earlier in the afternoon.
