Nathan Cirillo: Soldier Killed In Canada Terror Attack

Cpl Nathan Cirillo

The soldier killed guarding the National War Memorial in Ottawa was named locally as Cpl Nathan Cirillo, a 24-year-old reservist serving with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders.

He was a father, with a young son, who loved dogs and would post dozens of pictures his pets and family to social media sites.

At the time of his death, he was on guard duty and would have been carrying a rifle that was not loaded.

Other members of his unit based in Hamilton said they had been told not to talk to media.

Cpl Cirillo was training to join the Canada Border Services Agency, which is responsible for border security, his aunt told The Globe and Mail.

Gen Tom Lawson, chief of the defence staff, said: "It is with great sadness that I learned that Corporal Nathan Cirillo succumbed to the injuries he suffered after being shot while on sentry duty at the National War Memorial this morning. I extend my heartfelt condolences to Cpl Cirillo's family, friends and loved ones during this shocking time of loss, and pledge our support for them, as we would the families of any of our men and women who fall in the performance of their duty."

A Facebook page set up to remember him attracted thousands of visitors last night.
