Ottawa shooting kills Canadian soldier at War Memorial
A soldier was shot and killed at the National War Memorial Wednesday morning before a single suspect was shot dead at Parliament. The chaotic situation is ongoing as police seek multiple suspects in the attack.
“One shooting victim succumbed to injuries. He was a member of the Canadian Forces. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his loved ones,” Ottawa police said in a statement. The soldier will not be identified until his family is notified, police added.
The soldier is believed to be a reservist from Hamilton, Ontario.
“One male suspect has also been confirmed deceased,” police said. Sources told The Canadian Press that Kevin Vickers, the sergeant-at-arms for the House of Commons and 29-year RCMP veteran, shot the gunman within Parliament.
The situation remains very active as police have said they cannot confirm the number of shooters, just that it is more than one.
“This is an ongoing joint police operation and there is no one in custody at this time,” the statement from the RCMP and Ottawa police said....

Yes, but he of all others should have known better.
BTW, to you (correct) point, am seeing scrolling on TV “U.S. Agencies: No threat here.”

All it takes is a few people to bring down a nation. Read the history of the Assassins cult that dominated the Middle East at one time.
Let me guess. His first or middle name is ....
Title wrong - only one shooter
Question: I suspect that the soldier who was murdered by a Muslim, was unarmed. This subject has not been in the liberal controlled media reports.
Just like at Fort Hood, where our soldiers were unarmed by stupid liberal policy, maybe the Canadian soldiers were also unarmed.
Anyone know if the Canadian soldiers were neutered by their socialist government? I think so.

Most of the time I was in the Army (99%) I was unarmed. Soldiers don’t carry weapons around on a normal workday or even on parade, and when they do they’re almost always unloaded.
Good idea! I always feel safer when I know a good guy has a gun!
Everyone must take the threat seriously!
Be careful. That probably carries a different meaning in certain parts of New Guinea.
I just asked my husband what they did on his base, and he said yes they were armed and guns loaded, but he pointed out he was military police.
My husband told me they kept their weapons locked up most of the time on base. He served in Germany.
Fox just reported that the perp called 911 prior to his being neutralized to claim responsibility.
ISIL is calling him a “Martyr” already, so it’s pretty obvious what this is all about.
I fully concur with others who hope that the “Old Guard” stationed at the Tomb of the Unknown are allowed to carry those M-14s locked and loaded with live ball rounds... but I wouldn’t count on it.
The last I knew no magazines were inserted, and they do not seem to be carrying any - so they are pretty sitting ducks. As we all know, Hadjis love victims who can’t fight back, and our administration loves to provide them.
God Bless this brave soldier and his family through this very difficult time. I read online that the soldier had a gun but that NO bullets were in it, is that Canadian policy?
Like I said earlier, soldiers are not normally armed and carrying rounds unless they’re in a war zone, riot, military police, guarding something or going to the range.
As I suspected. Unarmed.
All the Canadian citizens running and hiding (sheltering in place = waiting to die) were all known to be unarmed as well. All sitting ducks.
Our own libtards want us the same way, all unarmed.
Barack’s muslim brothers know all western society’s weaknesses. An unarmed enemy makes it about as easy as it gets.
Exactly.
Let’s arm all the ME people and have people over here run from pop tarts.
This combined with the hit and run of two soldiers yesterday in Canada, all brought to you by Muslim terrorists.
When will this stupidity stop.
Liberals are too ignorant to run anything more complicated than a lemonade stand.
They are literally killing people with stupid policies.
I knew hours ago, just by knowing liberals, that the soldier was probably not even armed. What a damn shame.
