Edit 9: CBC confirming ONE of the shooters was killed in Parliament, more shots have been fired after that shooter had been shot.
Edit 10 per /u/6timesdonkeypunched[12] : University of Ottawa (about 10 blocks away) in lockdown: A very rough HTML page is up: Removed Link due to unnecessary usage LOCKDOWN in effect! ESCAPE - COVER - HIDE! Stop all activities. If possible, close and lock your door, and turn off the lights. Silence cell phones. Keep away from doors and windows. If it is safe to do so, close blinds. Take cover and remain quiet until authorities instruct otherwise. Msg #1 Mercredi, Octobre 22, 2014 - 11:08 The are clearly editing it fast.

Edit 14 per /u/kbsputnik[14] :
Here are some (chilling) updates from Gary Dimmock, the Ottawa Citizen's crime beat reporter: UPDATE: One suspect, believed to be on motorcycle, is on the 417, according to police sources. They think he fled downtown on bike. [Me: The 417 is the major freeway running through the city.] UPDATE: While police track one suspect on motorbike, they are also tracking another, last seen behind the Chateau Laurier. [Me: Chateau Laurier is a hotel] UPDATE: Police have been ordered to track two more possible suspect's, one fleeing on foot near Chateau, the other on motorbike.

Thanks /u/MFWDBWDSO[16] for the backup
Edit 15: CTV Ottawa confirms there were 3 separate shootings. One on Parliament Hill, one at National War Memorial, one at Rideau Centre. Slightly different where the report that it was "near Rideau Centre"[17] . Rideau Manager stated that there was not a shooting in the Centre itself
Edit 16: CTV reports solider shot at War Memorial is still alive
Edit 17: Ottawa bridges to Quebec closed, radio. MPs still locked down, as is almost every building downtown[18]
Edit 18: CBC interviewing police. Still an active investigation. More than one gunmen. CAN NOT CONFIRM that a shooter was shot at Parliament. (May be protocol) Has no new updates on the soldier shot this morning. Can confirm that no one is under arrest. When asked if he cannot confirm because it's an ongoing investigation or he doesn't know about the shooter, officer responded "a little bit of both"Last edited by DarthSiddius; 22 Oct 14,, 17:54.

Tweet from John Williamson MP - "Government Caucus received confirmation shortly ago that one CAF soldier was killed. A moment of silence followed."
RIP.
*Regarding the Soldier who was shot. There are now conflicting reports. One politician tweeted that the Government Caucus was briefed that the soldier has died. Jason Kenney tweeted condolences. There has not been any confirmation from DND or Ottawa Police
EDIT: DND Confirmed CAF soldier shot earlier today has died.Last edited by DarthSiddius; 22 Oct 14,, 18:41.

We(Indian's) can relate to this and I feel sorry for the family of the soldier. Rest in Peace
The National War Memorial (also known as The Response), is a tall granite cenotaph with acreted bronze sculptures, that stands in Confederation Square, Ottawa, and serves as the federal war memorial for Canada, for Canadian dead of all wars
They're using the insurgents tactic, targeting the state, in its capital.Last edited by Double Edge; 22 Oct 14,, 23:52.
