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.
... stay away from downtown, follow directions of police and building managers, asking for witnesses to come forward with information...
How ‘bout a Screech Party?
Lots more fun.
RCMP news conference on now.
Make it happen baby. Crush these scumbags and show the World that you won’t standby and call it workplace violence.
“witnesses described one of the suspects as having long, dark curly hair and a tan complexion”
Do you have the Twitter handle for that second quote? I’d like to school the POS on our history.
Yep, those ain’t no ceremonial rifles they’re holding.
Witnesses got clear picture of shooter - saw him go to Toyota Corolla before entering Parliament

Was Parliament Hill at a normal security status? It’s been “medium” for several years and remains at medium, RCMP say.

Because of the language difference will have to wait for the CTV summary to get a full understanding of the official’s remarks. Not confirming whether there is another shooter loose, still sweeping Parliament Hill ...
Just like the French to expect that others speak and understand French. :-)
