Obviously, reports that active gunman was killed. But we all saw reports of second gunman.

MP Tony Clement tweets from Parliament at 10:18 a.m. EDT:

Shots fired during caucus meeting. at least 30 shots. MPs piled out. I'm safe with 2 colleagues but we're still at risk...

and at 10:28:

I'm with colleages Mark Strahl and Kyle Seeback. PM was in Caucus but now secure. Assuming it's not safe to venture out yet...

BBC is reprting that Parliament in Ottawa is in lock down , and Prime Minister Stephen Harper left Parliament to a secure location.

There are other shots reported fired after the 1st rifleman was shot, as reported on Twitter. This has not been verified.

The possibility of there being other hostile shooters has not yet been ruled out by police yet.

Thanks for posting this link. My wife heard about this on tv yesterday evening, and I don’t think there was an update.

If ISIS or some other Islamic terrorist group is responsible for both acts of terrorism, Canada and then we have a dangerous problem.

Radical Muslim convert launched terror attack in Canada killing one soldier after his passport was confiscated as he tried to leave and join ISIS

Martin Couture-Rouleau, 25, ran over two Canadian soldiers, killing one Investigators say he had become radicalized by Islam and was feared to be en route to become a jihadi
Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent succumbed to his injuries

Great link. Interesting that all I see are cops in their everyday uniforms and chest protectors.
No SWAT teams, no armored vehicles, no helicopters, no crew served weapons, no cammies, etc.

BBC reporting that upwards of 50 shots were fired inside of the House of Commons, and that the dead perp was a French Canadian Muslim convert, and an ISIS fighter.

FoxNews reports that soldier shot at War Memorial was on duty as guard there.

TWITTER: police have guns drawn inside Parliament building.

Shooter still active, apparently. [Had not been apprehended, but no new info on whether he is still discharging weapon(s).]

This on the heels of a (French named) Muslim extremist shooting at 2 Canadian troops, killing one, near Montreal.

“and that the dead perp was a French Canadian Muslim convert, and an ISIS fighter.”

You misheard. It is a right-wing Tea Party extremist. That’s always the first suspect before we get the ignorable truth.

National Post with live updates and photos:

SNIP

A suspect has been described as “5’9-5’10, overweight and wearing a dark jacket, with a white scarf around his face.”

A Dutch tourist said he heard at least four shot and say the assailant running towards Parliament Hill, carrying a large rife.

Parliament is currently under lockdown. The PMO says Prime Minister Stephen Harper is safe and has left Parliament Hill.

A Toyota Corolla, with no plates on it, was left outside of Parliament Hill. A witness told the Post he saw two men get out of it.
