Ottawa gunman was not on 'high-risk' list

The gunman who shot dead a soldier in the Canadian capital was not under surveillance or on a list of around 90 individuals deemed to be a “high risk”, police have admitted.

Michael Zehaf-Bibeau killed Corporal Nathan Cirillo as he guarded the National War Memorial in Ottawa, before going on to storm the Canadian parliament where he was himself shot dead following a gun battle.
