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.

Police near Confederation Building just now. “There’s an active shooter. We haven’t got it contained yet.”

White head scarf is a clue.

I don’t understand the need for people to make flippant remarks at a time like like this.

However you slice it this is not good other than maybe waking up a portion of the populace to the Islamic menace. If this is Islamic. Time will tell as usual.

[Deo volente]

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.

The American press would already be in full "workplace violence" mode. Their political correctness and denial of reality will get us all killed.

Thinks, I just logged on to Free Republic to this outrage, another example of why ISIS members need to be exterminated like rabid dogs.

You misheard. It is a right-wing Tea Party extremist.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I wish we had a TP in Canada. The most conservative federal politicians are flaming liberal socialists IMHO, (and I live up here 6.5 months a year.)

The man shot today on Parliament Hill is being touted as a jihadi sympathizer.

More from Justin Ling on scene:

It's obviously more than one shooter. So everyone get to a safe police, let police do their jobs, and follow orders.

[Grampa Dave]

“Sudden Jihad Syndrome...”

No according to our Sunni Potus, ‘Just another example of workplace violence due to guns and Bush.’

[Envisioning]

No connection to Muslims or Jihad......../s

[driftless2]

Well, with all those hunting rifles, the hospitals of Canada must be full of people shot by gun-crazed Canadian hunters who couldn’t stop themselves from shooting humans because the evil gun made them shoot people....am I not correct? (snicker)

Thanks for that update. I have friends in Ottawa.And they all have CAR 15 s oe bull-pup rifles. And each one of them would tap the idiot perp. from their apartment window. The idjit perp. likely will go down hard.

“It’s obviously more than one shooter. So everyone get to a safe police, let police do their jobs, and follow orders. “

Media folks will be complaining about the earlier “all clear” message since they are now “in danger”.

Hey .... Where the heck are these guys?

[Squawk 8888]

They’re in Toronto- 45 minutes by air or 6 hours by road. :p
