LONGUEUIL, Que. – Friends, relatives and dignitaries packed into a church on Saturday to pay their last respects to warrant officer Patrice Vincent, who died after being hit by a car driven by an attacker with known jihadist sympathies.
The 53-year-old soldier was killed on Oct. 20 in the parking lot of a shopping mall in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, southeast of Montreal.
Another soldier was injured after what authorities said was a deliberate attack by Martin Couture-Rouleau, who was eventually shot by police.
On Saturday, thousands turned out to pay their respects. The funeral was private.
