Ottawa Shooter Identified

A sight in the parliament, attempting to re secure the premises

       After two shooting incidents, one at the Canadian War Memorial and the other inside the parliament in Ottawa, the gunman has been identified as Michael Zehad-Bibeau.  Bibeau was born in 1982, converted to Islam and had a history of drug use before converting.  Bibeau also had a record of drug arrests going back 10 years, the man has left a soldier dead and a city on lock down.  Police have not eliminated the possibility of a second shooter however it is known that a man shot a Canadian guard soldier in the back.  Three people have been hospitalized, including one with a gunshot-wound.  The hero of the day is Sergeant at Arms Kevin Vickers who shot the gunman right outside the MP's caucus rooms.  The possibility of a connection to terrorism hasn't been ruld out yet.  On Monday, a man who was "radicalised" killed a Canadian soldier with his car, the man was then shot and killed.  The man behind the vehicle attack, Marin Rouleau Couture reportedly converted to Islam a year ago, and was stopped from leaving for Turkey because of suspected terrorist actions.  However, there is yet no information saying that the two attacks were linked.

       This was definitely a very horrible situation that had to be dealt with immediately, and I think that it was dealt with effectively.  The gunman was shot and killed before he could cause more damage than he had already.  Bibeau however, who had converted to Islam, I do not is a member of IS or any Jihadi supremacist group.  I do believe though that he is what is being referred to as a lone-wolf sympathizer.  Men who are carrying out distant attacks sympathizing with the cause around the world.  I myself do think that the two episodes of combined violence killed two men, were planned together.  These radicalised men were facing problems in their young adult lives, therefore they turned to something extreme.  Islamic supremacy groups.  I don't think that these men are carrying out the true religion of Islam, either in Canada or across in Syria and Iraq.  Islam is a religion that preaches progression, man cannot go back to fighting wars like these, for these have already been fought.  This is reverting to the past, what has already been done.
