Prime Minister Stephen Harper and wife Laureen visit the Tomb of the Unknown soldier in Ottawa on Thursday. A gunman turned the nation's capital into an armed camp Wednesday after he fatally shot an honour guard at "point-blank" range at the National War Memorial before setting his sights on Parliament Hill.

A comment from a reader:
R.I.P. Cpl Nathan Cirillo. I can't help feel that Cpl. Nathan Cirillo should be given a special resting place at the National War Memorial (as long as his family is ok with it). How do my fellow Canadians feel about this?
