Gunman attack on government building ... in Canada?

Canadian Parliament under attack
Shots fired near Canadian Parliament
Shots fired near Canadian Parliament
quote:
Multiple shots have been fired at the National War Memorial in Ottawa, just steps from the nation's parliament.
Witnesses reported seeing a man running toward the government buildings, which have been placed on lockdown.
A soldier has been wounded in the attack, Canadian media report.
The incident comes amid the nation's raising of its terror threat level from low to medium, after a Muslim convert was killed by Quebec police after hitting two soldiers with his car.
"Shots fired at War Memorial at 9:52am today; one person injured," Ottawa Police tweeted on Wednesday.
A government official earlier said the raised threat level was in response to an increase in online "general chatter" from radical groups including Islamic State and al-Qaeda.
Ministry spokesman Jean-Christophe de Le Rue said on Tuesday that the increased level "means that intelligence has indicated that an individual or group within Canada or abroad has the intent and capability to commit an act of terrorism".

Police say a man believed to be a member of the Canadian Forces has been shot at National War Memorial, and there are reports of gunfire inside the halls of Parliament.
Ottawa police confirmed they had a call at 9:52 a.m. with a report of shots fired.
The gunman reportedly ran toward Parliament Hill, which is under lockdown.
Emergency responders are on the scene.
The incident comes just two days after two Canadian soldiers were run over - and one of them killed - in Quebec by a man with jihadist sympathies.

Here's a link to a twitter account that is tracking the situation. There are unconfirmed reports that the gunman is down. Also looks like the gunman shot a soldier.

They were a big part of what was arguably the most arduous and intense landing on D-Day.

Canada (especially their SOF) has been very active in the GWOT. Couple that with extremely loose border controls and Ta Da you get a great terrorism target.

Call it what it is....radical Muslim jihadi. Or perhaps just Muslim jihadi as apparently it's not very radical to them.

Holy crap. That was a lot of shots.

One shooter confirmed dead in Parliament
Rumors of other shooters near the "chateau"?
Eta: a second shooter has been shot according to media reports

Police believe, but have not confirmed, that there are several shooters. One shooter has been confirmed as dead, shot by police officers. At 10:53 a.m., a reporter for the CBC was told that gunmen were on the roof of the building and it is unclear if there were two or more gunmen with "brandished weapons." This reporter also notes that there is a heavily wooded area near Parliament Hill and at least one gunman appears to be moving east away from the shooting location.

Probably not related to a "radicalised" man who struck two Canadian soldiers with his car and was eventually killed by police. This only happened a few days ago.
Probably.
