I have my TV on delay as I watch and eat lunch (and post here), so I don’t know if the BO has pitched his version yet.
However, CNN has indicated that this is not a terrorist act, because Canada does know the name of the gunned shooter and they have reached out to our CIA/FBI. (Really, I don’t understand their logic.)
A reporter also said that Canada does keep tabs on their 90 jihadist sympathizers, and this can’t be one of them, just because...that is their logic.
It seems that also a CNN reporter is in one of the rooms in the Parliament and when he and other staffers, etc. were told to shelter in place, they heard what appeared to be seven gun shots in the outside stairwell, which indicated to him that there was still another shooter on the premises.
They also do not know is the soldier killed in front of the war memorial was killed by the shooter in the government building or if that was another gunman.
So far there have been shootings at only three locals: the Parliament, the war memorial (near Parliament Hill) and inside and outside of the parliament.
The mall shooting report was walked back.
The sergeant at arms is largely a ceremonial position, but the man who took down the first gunman, was once a Mountie. ( He’s an older gent, too. Good on him!)
So, terrorism does not equal knowing someone’s name.
The answer is 42.
A different soldier was hit by a Jihadi driver two days ago.
