Episode 275: On May 8, 1984, a man with a beard, dressed in Canadian Forces camouflage attire and wearing a beret, entered the studios of CJRP, a radio station in Quebec City. Employees at the station noticed the man had a knife secured to his leg. The man approached the assistant to radio host Andr\xe9 Arthur\u2019s assistant, presented her with an envelope while introducing himself as \u201cMr. D.\u201d and promptly left.\nThe man was later identified as Denis Lortie, a 25-year-old disgruntled Canadian Forces corporal who then entered the Citadelle de Quebec to commit a mass shooting of members of the National Assembly of Quebec. He opened fire, killing three unelected legislature employees, Georges Boyer, 61, Camille Lepage, 54, and Roger Lefran\xe7ois, 57. He injured thirteen others before being apprehended, thanks to the heroism of Ren\xe9 Marc Jalbert, a retired Canadian Forces officer and the sergeant-at-arms of the National Assembly of Quebec. Lortie\u2019s actions shocked the nation and prompted discussions on security measures and political extremism. Jalbert\u2019s earned him the Cross of Valour, Canada\u2019s highest civilian bravery award.\nSources:\nHome - La Citadelle de Qu\xe9bec \u2013 Mus\xe9e Royal 22e R\xe9giment\nThis is the story of how one lock and key, unlocked terror. | Diefenbunker.ca\nDramatic video: 30th Anniversary of National Assembly shootings | CBC.ca\n\u201cMr. D.\u201d - TIME\nThe P\xe8re-version of the Political in the Case of Denis Lortie\nCanadian Parliamentary Review - Article\nIl y a 20 ans, la fusillade de l\u2019Assembl\xe9e nationale | Radio-Canada.ca\nLe Soleil > Itin\xe9raire d\u2019un tueur\n1990 CanLII 3485 (QC CA) | R. c.
