Mike Stafford is saying, “We don’t know the motive, whether it’s a taxpayer who has a beef with the government...”.

To confirm your statement, one has to just drive through the Indian Reservation on the southern banks of the St. Lawrence from Montreal and observe one gun store after another to know that you are correct. I actual saw the ultimate ATF convenience store or depaneur as the say, the one that sells alcohol, tobacco and firearms.

Reports now of “multiple gunmen”.

Per CNN from authorities - 2 or 3 shooters

” whether it’s a taxpayer who has a beef with the government...”.

Called it. Set the narrative before the facts come out and maybe the sheeple will only remember the narrative.

And avid talk radio listener...

Benton Fraser, Meg Thatcher, Ray Vechio 1, Diefenbaker, and Turnbull could handle it.

Holy crap

CTV commentator [former MP] seems to think ISIS or some similar radical Islamist groups might be behind this.

Talk about arming ALL security personnel.

PM has a secret passage to leave the building.

PM removed himself from the building as soon as the threat was known.

10 to 30 shots were heard by various witnesses.

CTV now showing video, from a news crew who happened to be inside the Parliament building, of shots. [Rather choppy and out of focus, but will make Youtube and the news outlets.]

Helos over Parliament Hill. Schools in the vicinity have been ordered on lockdown/closed.

Perp(s) may have escaped, so search area is expanding.

Prayers up.

DC better get on lockdown if there are more than two gunmen. This could be a coordinated attack

Tweet from Luke Russert, NBC News:

NBC: no motive has been ascribed to incident 2day, shooting does match threats officials in CAN have learned ISIL sympathizers there r makin

[Squawk 8888]

To be fair, immediately after commercial break he said, “This is not a lone nutjob, this is an attack.”

[Deo volente]

Two or three shooters, or even more?

This looks to be well-planned.

Sounds like workplace violence to me.

We must ban guns!
