OTTAWA — An Afghan girl has been killed in an accidental shooting by Canadian soldiers in Kandahar province, military officials said.
Soldiers had dismounted from a convoy Tuesday in Panjwaii district when a motorcycle came speeding toward them, military officials said. When the driver did not heed signals to stop, a warning shot was fired and the motorcycle changed direction and sped away.
Officials say the soldiers then noticed a crowd gathering and discovered that a girl had been shot.
