IMPORTANT:

RCMP: Send any photos or videos of the current terrorist attack in Ottawa to be sent to NatDiv_Media_DivNat@rcmp -grc.gc.ca

Further updates:

- Looks like it was multiple shooters.
- The soldier reported dead looks like has actually survived, if barely. So far no one confirmed killed, but a few wounded. Nm, he's now passed away.
- Locations of attacks are the Parliament, War Memorial
- One soldier has passed away
- Looks like it was only one gunman and they were just being really cautious
- No group has been implicated yet.

Unless he's been replaced by an exact duplicate and has flown across the continent, no.

No way, look at this:

Scott Walsh, who was working on Parliament Hill, said he saw a man running with double-barrelled shotgun, wearing a scarf and blue jeans.
And add to that how he shot a soldier and this sounds more like a Hobo With A Shotgun stiuation

It's closer to the core of Ontario Edit: (population wise)

There's a map on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottawa

Ottawa is the capital of Canada and the War Museum is close to the Parliament. That's why people are going nuts here right now.

There are reports of a second shooter, but nothing confirmed. It would be very polite of this shooter to attempt a massacre without killing anyone, I hope that soldier he shot makes a full recovery. This doesn't seem like a man in the clock tower kind of attack, the shooter attacked a soldier and then went into Parliament. Definitely a political thing.

I'd love to see the Quebecois in Congress. That would be some funny poo poo.

Canada has a mass shooting every once in a while, but they're infrequent enough for everyone to go Oh God How Can This Really Happen Here when they do. I do hope everyone except the gunman is okay though.
