Re: The Global War on Terror 5.0: Putin on the Risk

What the hell is going on back home???? :mad:

Gunshots rang out at Canada's Parliament building Wednesday, with one soldier guarding the nearby National War Memorial shot and a gunman possibly on the loose just days after a terror attack in Quebec shook the nation, officials said.

Shots were reported inside the building, in Ottawa, and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper was whisked away to a safe location as Royal Canadian Mounted Police converged on the complex in a hunt for the shooter, who was described as having long, black hair and toting a rifle or shotgun. Bernard Trottier, a Toronto-area MP, tweeted that the gunman inside Centre Block "has been shot and killed” but that could not be confirmed.

Some reports are saying one of the shooters is dead and another has either been shot or is still on the loose. But from the sounds of it, there were multiple shooters being reported in the chaos.

Leafs are in the Chateau Laurier. Game with the Sens tonight will likely be cancelled.

@ArashMadani: CBC reporting the soldier shot at the War Memorial in Ottawa is a Reservist from Hamilton. His condition is not known at this time, per CBC.

Reports now of three separate shooting incidents

Purely speculation on my part, but who wants to place odds on the impetus for this attack being a retaliation for Canada adding its six F-18 and entire pea shooter collection to the fight against ISIS?

This report suggests the same gunman who did the War Memorial shooting then ran to the Parliament, which from Google Earth looks only a block away. I don't know how far the Rideau Center, where the third shooting took place, is from the Parliament Hill complex.

Edit: The Rideau Center is a short distance away on the same street (Wellington).
