The 2014 Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu ramming attack was a terrorist attack in which a car was deliberately rammed into a group of Canadian soldiers in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, Canada, on October 20, 2014 at 11:30 a.m. ET. The attack was perpetrated by a radicalized Muslim convert, Martin Couture-Rouleau, who killed Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent before himself being killed by police following a police chase.

Attack

Martin Couture-Rouleau, a French-Canadian, rammed a car into two Canadian Armed Forces soldiers. He sat in a parking lot for over two hours before attacking the two soldiers. Couture-Rouleau was a 25-year-old with extensive police encounters who had become a Muslim convert in 2013 and was a supporter of ISIL. Couture-Rouleau used his car to run down the two soldiers before being fatally shot by police during an ensuing car chase. One of the soldiers, Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, age 52, subsequently died from his injuries.

Perpetrator

Martin Couture-Rouleau began to refer to himself as Ahmad LeConverti (French for Ahmad The Converted). His Canadian passport was revoked in June, 2014 over concerns that he "become radicalized after converting to Islam." He was attempting to travel to Iraq to fight with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS).
