Ottawa police say woman has died after assault at Christian Science reading room
OTTAWA — Police say they don’t have a suspect description after a woman working at a religious centre in downtown Ottawa was killed.
Investigators say 59-year-old Elisabeth Salm was working at the Christian Science Reading Centre on Thursday when she was assaulted.
Const. Alain Boucher says police believe the attack took place between 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., when the woman was the only reading room employee on duty.
Boucher says first responders were called by another reading room staff member, who found Salm when they arrived around 1 p.m. to begin their shift.
