The Ottawa shooter

Somebody finally confirmed the picture that was used from the first day is in fact a picture of the shooter.

And he made a video about which Canadian police will say nothing at this time, except that it confirms the shooting "was politically and ideologically motivated."

The shooter, Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, was a French Canadian convert to Islam with a criminal record who was prevented from flying to the Middle East.

His mother says he wanted to study Islam in Saudi Arabia.
