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.

Good thing no one but the criminals/terrorists can defend themselves.
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 journos are in hiding and reporting from within the parliament building, bloody right there are shots.
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).]
