RCMP said Corey Hurren, 46, faces 22 criminal charges, including careless use of a firearm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm and uttering threats. Hurren, an active member of the military who serves as a Canadian Ranger, allegedly drove his truck through the pedestrian gate at 1 Sussex Drive at around 6:30 a.m. ET Thursday morning, which stopped working on impact, said RCMP Deputy Commissioner Mike Duheme during a news conference Friday morning. Hurren had several weapons but Duheme wouldn't go into specifics. He said it appears Hurren was acting alone. Hurren is accused of: Four counts of careless use, storage and handling of a firearm; (Section 86(1) CC) Four counts of contravention of transport regulation of a firearm; (Section 86(2) CC) Four counts of possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose; (Section 88(1) CC) One count of possession of a restricted firearm, knowing its possession is unauthorized; (Section 92(1) CC) One count of possession of prohibited device, knowing its possession is unauthorized; (Section 92(2) CC) One count of possession at unauthorized place (Section 93(1) CC) Four counts of unauthorized possession in motor vehicle (Section 94(1) CC) Two counts of possession of prohibited or restricted firearm with ammunition (Section 95(1) CC) One count of uttering threats (Section 264.1 CC). When asked if police know Hurren's motivation, Duheme said "yes" but would not go into details. The RCMP did say Hurren wasn't known previously to police and was not on any watch lists.

There was never any danger to the prime minister and his family, or the governor general, Duheme confirmed, as neither was on the grounds at the time. Hurren remains in custody in Ottawa following a brief court appearance by teleconference Friday. Defence lawyer Michael Davies made a request for disclosure from the Crown and scheduled his next hearing for July 17.
