"The following summary of the death of Michael ZEHAF-BIBEAU on Wednesday, October 22, 2014, was prepared from information obtained from interviews from members of the House of Commons Security Services, the RCMP, members of the media and civilians. On October 23, 2014, the Commissioner of the RCMP, and on October 29, 2014, the Speaker of the House of Commons, requested the Commissioner of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) to conduct an independent investigation into the shooting death of Michael ZEHAF-BIBEAU that occurred on October 22, 2014. The Director of Criminal Investigation Services assigned a Major Case Manager to lead this investigation. The OPP investigation involved the interviewing of members of the RCMP, House of Commons Security Services officers, civilians, as well as the examination and analysis of evidence. Members of the OPP Forensic Identification Services were not able to examine the crime scene prior to its release but provided forensic examination of items seized by the Identification Unit of the RCMP. The OPP Forensic Identification Services also collected and prepared scene exhibits from the RCMP and House of Commons Security Services to be examined by various sections of the Centre of Forensic Sciences in Toronto, Ontario."--Introduction.
