Parliament Hill is in under lockdown after reports of shots being fired from inside the halls of the centre block. Nearby, at the National War Memorial, a man believed to be a soldier was shot by an unknown gunman.
CTV News' Katie Simpson was at the War Memorial in Ottawa on Wednesday morning, and witnessed passersby attending to someone who had been shot.
Police said a man believed to be a member of the Canadian Forces was shot at the memorial.

Jason MacDonald, director of communications for Prime Minister Stephen Harper, tweeted that Harper is safe and has left the area.
Several MPs also took to Twitter to say that they were safe but scared.
MP Tony Clement tweeted that at least 30 shots were fired.
Witnesses told Simpson they saw a man with long hair carrying a rifle and heard four shots fired.
One witness told her that he saw the man with the rifle then run towards Parliament Hill. Simpson said the shooter is still on the loose and it is still an active investigation.
The shooting comes two days after a man attacked two Canadian soldiers in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que. One of those soldiers died from his injuries. The suspect was shot and killed by police.

Not their type of gig. No looting involved. So I would look to the Muslims.

Didn't take the US long to claim no terrorist ties to Islamic terror.
Move along nothing to see here.

That’s impossible; Canada banned guns year ago. It must have happened in Ottawa, Wyoming or something.
