Quick & dirty summary of Zehaf-Bibeau* here.

* - If you're going to Google-fu this guy, his name has been spelled in some reports is Zehef-Bibeau.
 
CBC reports:

Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, the slain gunman in Wednesday’s shooting at the Ottawa War Memorial and Parliament Buildings, had a criminal record in Quebec and British Columbia.

Court documents obtained by CBC News show that Zehaf-Bibeau pleaded guilty to charges including drug possession and robbery.

Zehaf-Bibeau, a Canadian born in 1982, was charged with drug possession in 2004.

He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 60 days in jail.

Court documents show he lived in Montreal at the time, in the north-end neighbourhood of Villeray.

CBC News in Montreal went to the address listed on the court documents. Neighbours said Zehaf-Bibeau had not lived there for years.

Zehaf-Bibeau was in trouble with the law again in 2011, this time in British Columbia.

Following a bank robbery in Vancouver, Zehaf-Bibeau was charged with robbery and uttering threats. He was found guilty of the lesser charge of uttering threats.

Has anything been said of what happened to the other member of the Honour Guard?
 
Please allow me to express my sincerest condolences to the family of the serviceman who lost his life in this senseless and cowardly act. :cdnsalute:  I have to say it's a sad world we live in when those put on a uniform to defend the rest of us have to be banned from wearing uniforms in public.
 
Today is also Diwali, a Hindu festival that signifies the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil, and hope over despair.

As we remember our fallen, let us also strive for the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil, and hope over despair
 
"A photographer happened to be taking some photos of a proud soldier this morning. Little did he know he was taking one of this man's last photos. Let us remember him standing tall and on guard. Rest in peace Nathan Cirillo."

Apparently taken just before the shooting. No doubt not given any ammunition during guard duty. From now on they need to either stop the guard or give them the correct tools to do it. My prayers and thoughts to the soldier, his comrades and his family. I hope he makes it.

The above post was removed initially as it identified the Honour Guard before any details were know as to seriousness of Cpl Cirillo's condition. 

Photos are now appearing all over the media of the days events.  Some even capture the Shooter getting into his car at the War Memorial to drive to Parliament Hill around the corner.
 
That picture is circulating social media stating the guard has reposted sentries, although it's during the day and Cpl Cirillo is pictured.
 
Rest in peace Cpl Cirillo, and my condolences to your family.  :salute:

I wish a speedy recovery to all other families affected by the tragedies over the last 48 hours.
