Comments | Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu QC, October 20-21, 2014. At approximately 11:30 EDT, the lone assailant deliberately rammed their car into a pair of Canadian Armed Forces soldiers in a parking lot of a local shopping Centre, narrowly missing another soldier and a police officer. Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent was transported to hospital with life-threatening injuries and another un-named soldier sustained non-life threatening injuries. Warrant Officer Vincent succumbed to his injuries the next day in hospital. The assailant fled the scene chased by police officers. He eventually lost control of his car and was killed after charging a police officer with a knife. Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the RCMP classified this as a lone-wolf ISIL inspired terrorist attack, unconnected to the shooting on Parliament Hill only two days later. |
