That poor soldier and his family, protecting the monument to our war fallen, some asshole decides to shoot him. This should not be happening here/ anywhere. Fuck, I hope they get all these terrorists and they never see the light of day again. Ottawa is such an open city, this will change everything.
Gunmen opened fire in at least three locations in Ottawa, Canada, this morning, police say on Twitter. The shooting locations include Parliament Hill, the National War Memorial, and near the Rideau Centre shopping mall, according to police.
One person was shot at the War Memorial near Parliament, police say.
Authorities are trying to figure out if there were two or three gunmen involved, said Marc Soucy of the Ottawa Police Service.
All Ottawa police buildings are on lockdown and are closed to the public, police said.

My husband is locked into his office in the Market. I had a meeting on the Hill this afternoon that has been cancelled. The construction crew are locked into their trailers. My downtown office is locked down, luckily I was at our West end office.
I have another meeting in Gatineau right now but we have cancelled it since they are searching cars going across the bridges and I don't want to be involved in that mess.
They have killed one shooter. There are possibly up to two more on the loose.

I'm glad you guys are all safe.
My bosses are at a meeting downtown and are locked down in the hotel with limited cell coverage.

Oh wow, I hope everyone is ok and that they catch ev3eryone involved. It's really eery to see a place you have visited on the news for a shooting. Even worse when it's a place you live. Stay safe everyone.
I'm locked down out in the boonies of Ottawa! Hope I get to go home. Take good care aprilsails (hugs)
Are you at a school or another public building? My coworker was all pissed off since her kid's school was in lock down and it is in Osgoode. There's no way there is anything happening in Osgoode.
I am worried since I have a major construction project going on inside of Centre Block right now. I deal with about 10 of the staff on a very regular basis. All of the meetings scheduled for this week have been scrapped by project management.
