Yesterday's attack on the Canadian Parliament building left a Canadian soldier and the shooter dead. The soldier, Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, was guarding the war memorial near the Parliament building when Michael Zehaf-Bibeau shot him. The shooter then moved to the Parliament building, where he fired multiple shots from his rifle and was subsequently killed by the Sergeant-at-Arms (and former Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer) Kevin Vickers. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper declared that Canada would not be intimidated, referring to the attack as an act of terror. ISIS is reported to be encouraging "lone wolf" attacks within countries that are fighting its advances in Syria and Iraq.
