Buildings in Ottawa’s downtown core are under lockdown after the crack of gunshots rang through the halls of Parliament Hill’s Centre Block on Wednesday and a gunman fired on soldiers guarding Canada’s main war memorial.

Ottawa police confirmed that they were investigating “several” shootings in downtown Ottawa. There are conflicting reports of how many shooters appear to be involved in the attack on the heart of Canada’s federal government.

Whats been reported thus far:

Up to 6 possible suspects, 2 shooters have been shot.

3 Separate shooting incidents have been confirmed, one of which was a soldier.

University of Ottawa and surrounding area have been locked down
 
Wow, haven't turned on the T.V. To even know about this. All those innocent lives man...
 
One day we will have world peace. One day.

There was a terrorist attack there monday that killed a soldier. The guy had tried to join isis and was stopped when going to Turkey

Wonder if its a similar attack or a different cause.
 
 
In CANADA? They have some of the strictest gun laws around.

This is certainly news.
Goes to show regulation isn't necessarily the remedy for these issues.

We need to do a better job with mental health instead of just drugging people with ailments.
While I agree that we need better services for the mentally ill (in America, at least), what's the issue with using psychotropic medications?  Do you really think the mentally ill would be doing better without them?

And how do you even know these individuals were all on psychotropic medications?  
 
Wow..just wow. My condolences to the soldier.. died guarding the memorial of his own fallen.

It differs with every issue and person. But some drugs people are prescribed do more damage than good. You don't need to be a genius to know the listed side effects outweigh the potential benefits for some of these drugs.

well we certainly won't get anywhere as a society with a crappy mindset like that.
