Reports coming in from Canada of shooting at the Library of Parliament. One shooter reported captured. Unconfirmed reports of one dead. Police looking for more shooters, but not sure if more.

Very sad to see he has died.....he was shot in the chest.

CBC reports that the Hospital says they received 3 patients with gunshot wounds. 2 of the 3 are in critical condition. No word on condition of the 3rd.

Reporter speculates that the 3rd is the soldier.

Government Caucus received confirmation shortly ago that one CAF soldier was killed. A moment of silence followed.

I wonder which bench of the J.V. Team this is?

White House official: No change in security status following shootings in Ottawa; ‘we are in close contact with the our Canadian partners and will continue to monitor the situation as the facts come to light’ - @NBCNews

Maroons!

So sorry for our Canadian allies.

[Gay State Conservative]

Yikes! Just watched a few minutes of live coverage by CTV and a commentator said that the gunman had very probably gotten to within a few feet of the Prime Minister.

Good God Almighty!

...and will continue to monitor the situation as the facts come to light

The Obama Administration's boilerplate response to pretty much everything.

I thought they would be “deeply concerned”. *rolls eyes*

Does anyone know whether this situation is still active? Are there active shooters at this time?

The attack started at the Canadian War Memorial.

If we are smart, we will issue ammo to the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and put a few extra armed soldiers discreetly around the immediate grounds. I can easily see jihadis taking the opportunity to try and murder the guard and blow up the Tomb.

Unless a young black male happens to be shot by a non-black individual. Then they will jump in with both feet.

What a tragedy that would have been

"Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s office says two scheduled events today in Toronto with Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai have been cancelled."

That was the terrorists' GOAL!

NEVER grant your enemy his goal.

Jeez. They should have carried on and gone fully "in-your-face-you-stinkin'-muzzies" with the rhetoric.
