The gunman in a fatal shooting that rocked Ottawa on Wendesday has been identified.

Canadian officials told the AP that the shooter, who killed a soldier and wounded two other people near the Canadian Parliament building, is Michael Zehaf-Bibeau.

Zehaf-Bibeau, 32, was from Quebec and had recently converted to Islam, U.S. sources told Reuters. According to the Globe and Mail, he had been designated a "high-risk traveler" by Canadian officials and was barred from traveling outside the country.

After police chased him inside the Parliament building, Zehaf-Bibeau was killed by Sgt. at Arms Kevin Vickers.

Very scary. It may have been a co-incidence but Prime Minister Harper was supposed to meet with Malala Yousefzai to bestow honourary citizenship on her in Toronto this afternoon. This event was cancelled.


This is video of Aehaf-Bibeau, getting into a car just after shooting Cirillo.

It seems he may have been influenced by drugs more than religion.

Quote:
The son had been well-liked in high school. But even then he was dabbling in the sale of soft drugs, and he frequently faced detentions at school, according to the friend and classmate, who asked to remain anonymous.

But it was the years after high school that marked a turn toward both the sale and consumption of hard drugs, including cocaine, the friend said. His moods took sharp and at times violent turns.

?Drugs changed him,? the former friend said. ?He could be happy one minute, then go ballistic the next.? The friend recalls a house party at which Mr. Zehaf-Bibeau got high and began to fight. ?He put his fist through the wall. He could lose it and would get paranoid.?

The friend went regularly to Mr. Zehaf-Bibeau?s house, located in a middle-class neighbourhood. ?His father wasn?t around much,? the friend said. ?He was with his mother, and his mother worked a lot, and he was left alone a lot. He had a lot of freedom.?

Eventually, Mr. Zehaf-Bibeau headed west, clashing with the law along the way. In 2011, he was arrested after attempting to rob a Vancouver McDonald?s with a pointy stick.

?I want to come to jail so I could clean up,? Mr. Zehaf-Bibeau told the judge, according to court transcripts released Friday. ?I?m a crack addict and at the same time I?m a religious person, and I want to sacrifice freedom and good things for a year maybe so when I come out I?ll appreciate things in life more and be clean.?

He also tried to confess to a 10-year-old Montreal armed robbery in an attempt get help through more prison time. ?The RCMP member tried to help him but could not find any record of any such armed robbery and therefore refused to arrest him,? the prosecutor said.
