OT: Shooting At Canadian Parliament Building
As you may have already heard, there has been several shootings at and/or near the Parliament building in Ottawa, Ontario. We all know that there are Canadians who support the Maize and Blue, so I think that it is only fair that we support them during a time of tragedy and chaos.
A soldier was shot and hopefully will remain alive.
I really hope that all our Canadian friends and their families are safe and not involved in this situation in any way.
Neg away, delete if you want, but I think a Capital being attacked, no matter how small is important news.

Nothing wrong with posting this, bluestaffah.

Has been nonstop on air since just after the first shooting (there have been shots fired in three locations, including at the Parliament center block) Is clearly not his smooth, unflappable self. This clearly has him rattled.

saw on Twitter that the solider that was shot is alive.... follow this link: https://news.yahoo.com/uniformed-canadian-soldier-shot-at-ottawa-war-me… to see a video that the Globe and Mail got of shots being fired in the Parliament Building...

Just confirmed the soldier has died.
Sad...very sad.
One shooter also dead.
October 22nd, 2014 at 1:30 PM ^
So was there only one shooting at the War memorial or was there another?
October 22nd, 2014 at 1:33 PM ^
read that they think that there might be 3 shooters but they are not sure...
October 22nd, 2014 at 1:38 PM ^
War Memorial, Parliament Centre Block, and near the Rideau Center.
October 22nd, 2014 at 3:03 PM ^
But other two accurate. I'm in Ottawa.

'Fog of war' type caveats apply, but from what I can tell from reports, it seems there have been several shootings at about the same time throughout Ottowa. The war memorial, in the Parliment building, I saw a headline that there was one possibly at a shopping mall, another at another building near Parliment....Not sure what is really happening, that will take time to be figured out and reported, but it doesn't look good at this point.

odd is going on in my former home country, i saw that a couple of days ago that 2 Canadian soliders were run down by a "fanatic" of sorts... i lived in Canada for 25 years and stuff like this never happened...

The War Memorial, inside the Parliament building and at the Rideau Centre.
War Memorial - soldier was shot
Parliament building - I believe one shooter was shot
Rideau Centre - not sure what happened there
Disclaimer: I am not on the scene. I am getting information through various media outlets as it arrives.

However, the man who yesterday ran down and killed a member of the Canadian Forces in Quebec was on the watchlist of radicalised Islamists and had his passport revoked over the summer.

holds up on it's own regardless of this story.
October 22nd, 2014 at 1:46 PM ^
I just found out about this via email from my girlfriend who is in Ottawa for a weeklong conference. Apparently they are in lockdown a couple blocks from the Parliment building.
October 22nd, 2014 at 1:48 PM ^
There was a Canadian soldier killed in a hit and run outside a Canadian Forces recruiting center in Quebec. The 25 year-old who was arrested had been on a security watch list and had tried to leave the country in July.
With the attacks coming back-to-back, I'm sure RCMP and JTF2 are trying to find out if they are in any way connected.

Canadians are always "just a shooter" type
October 22nd, 2014 at 2:08 PM ^
Somebody HAD to!

A Canadian soldier died because of that "shooter".
His name was Cpl. Nathan Cirillo. He was from Hamilton, Ontario and was 24 years old.
May he rest in peace.

Good God. I hope they capture/kill the bastard(s) who are still on the loose.
October 22nd, 2014 at 2:53 PM ^
So sad.. my heart goes out to all involved. Just hope no more are injured or killed. I love my country. This is a sad day for us all.
October 22nd, 2014 at 2:59 PM ^
I can't claim to know every violent crime that has gone on in Canada, but this worries me somewhat since Canada has seemed a rather peaceful place separated from terrorist-like attacks.
October 22nd, 2014 at 3:53 PM ^
Terror attacks are a little different than your garden-variety violent crime.

They find out when they die, 72 Virginians (George Washington, Robert E Lee, et al) are lined up to kick their ass. Wow, did they miss a memo.

The scum can try and scare us, but will not break us.
Completely crazy. Just outside of Montreal one of them runs down two off-duty soldiers in a car.
Today, this.
We are big on religious tolerance, but I live not too far from a notorious mosque which produces some pretty high-profile terrorists. Don't mind seeing it shut down at this point.
Thanks for the thoughts, and rest in peace Corporal Cirillo.

Hamilton is my hometown. There's a lot of community and pride in that city, and I know that they will come together to support the family.
It's just so awful.. this type of thing doesn't happen in Canada.
May this punk rot in the worst hell imaginable.
