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.
CIA analyst on Fox just said, there is no doubt this is a planned terrorist attack by jihadists. He said forget about home grown, this is ISIS, not a random attack but planned by ISIS. Ottawa was chosen because of its relaxed atmosphere.
An MP is reporting gunshots still being heard inside Centre Block.

Global News: Ottawa reporter saw someone loaded into an ambulance outside of Chateau Laurier
Confirmed.
Given that Adolph Hitler’s portrait had once replaced crucifixes upon alters, if NAZI sympathizers re-branded themselves as another “Religion of Peace;” would Washington village idiots equate the National Socialism political system as some sort of bonafied religion like Islam is?
We are sending CF-18s to fight ISIS, and we support Israel.
Being an ally ... hmmm.
Obama to announce appointment of “Canadian shootings czar. Blames previous administration and GOP.” (/s)
Prime Minister Stephen Harper is understood to have cancelled his public events for the day, including a meeting with Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai, who is in Toronto to receive honorary Canadian citizenship. Mr Harper is due to make a statement later today.
