The 25-year-old, identified in local media as Martin Couture Rouleau, was killed by officers at St-Jean-sur-Richelieu in Quebec after a car chase.
One of the soldiers died on Tuesday, the other has minor injuries.[/url][/quote]
I thought this was something that only happened in the Land o' the Free, isn't Canada supposed to be like the UK where it's worthy of national news if a "firearms officer" is called to a scene?

Not entirely sure if you're being serious. All municipal constables carry a sidearm in Canada. I thought something like that would be common knowledge.
