OTTAWA - A man was detained by police this morning not far from Stephen Harper as the prime minister stopped by the National War Memorial to pay tribute to Cpl. Nathan Cirillo.
No other details were immediately available.
Cirillo was fatally shot Wednesday by a gunman who then raced to Parliament Hill, where he was killed in a gunfight in the halls of the Centre Block.
Harper was surrounded by a phalanx of security officials as he arrived at the memorial to lay a wreath.
Several federal MPs were also on hand to pay their respects, even taking part in an impromptu rendition of O Canada.
