Anyone want to speculate about what he yelled? I’m guessing it rhymes with “Allah Snackbar.”

Via National Post:

I was about to give a speech five minutes from Parliament Hill when word came through that shots had been fired at the War Memorial.

The CBC’s Evan Solomon and I took off on foot, racing up Sparks Street and arrived at the Cenotaph a couple of minutes later to find a scene that is going to change this country forever.

A police officer raced toward the scene, shouting into his walkie talkie: “DND member down.” […]

A friend, who does not wish to be identified, said he saw the whole thing from his office window, overlooking the Cenotaph.

“I saw the whole thing; it was unbelievable. Three shots, two at point blank range,” he said. The shooter was young, 30ish, Caucasian and male. He had dark, longish hair, facial hair and a black and white Palestinian type head scarf over his face, which he pulled down after the shooting. Then he held up the gun and shouted something that I didn’t hear.”

The young soldier was wearing a kilt — he is a reservist from the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada in Hamilton — and appeared to have a bloody chest wound. The thought struck me that there should be a very special place in Hell reserved for a terrorist who shoots a soldier guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier that honours this country’s fallen.
