Shooter linked to BC

The man alleged to have taken part in the shooting in Ottawa this morning had ties to BC.

Provincial court documents say Michael Joseph Paul Zehaf Bibeau, 32, was arrested in Vancouver in Dec, 2011.

He was charged with robbery and uttering threats.

Zehaf Bibeau was sentenced, two months later, to one day in jail and ordered to pay a $100 victim surcharge.

There is no indication whether he resided in BC at the time and, if so, for how long.

A report in the Montreal Gazette says a man with the same name and age was convicted in Montreal in 2004 on charges of possession of phencyclidine (PCP). He was sentenced to 60 days in jail on that offence and an additional one day for possession of marijuana.

Zehaf Bibeau was killed by police earlier this morning after he was alleged to have shot and killed a soldier at the War Memorial on Parliament Hill.
