A Canadian soldier was killed in a non-combat shooting in Afghanistan, CTV News has learned.

There has been no official confirmation of the incident, but sources told CTV News that the soldier was a reservist.

Canadian reporters in Kandahar were in a military-ordered lockdown and were unable to immediately provide any information related to the report.

A Canadian soldier has been killed in an accidental shooting in Afghanistan, CBC News has confirmed.

The soldier, identified as Cpl. Kevin Megeney, was in his tent when he was shot in the chest, the family told CBC News. Megeney was a reservist from Stellarton, N.S.

His uncle, George Megeney, told the New Glasgow News that the family was informed about the incident, described as an accident, around 10 a.m. AT.

"They said it was a friendly-fire type of thing," George Megeney said.

The 25-year-old volunteered to go to Afghanistan in the fall as part of the militia with the Nova Scotia Highlanders.

Since 2002, 45 Canadian soldiers and a diplomat have been killed in Afghanistan.

There was no official confirmation of the report.

RIP Troop

His family lives just down the street from me, and they are distant relatives of my wife's family. I was hoping for no funerals during this tour; I didn't think it would be so soon into the tour.

RIP Cpl Megeney
