RCMP Statement:

The Ottawa Police Service and Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) responded to reports of shooting incidents this morning in the downtown area. Police can now confirm that incidents occurred at the National War Memorial and on Parliament Hill.

 

Contrary to earlier reports no incident occurred near the Rideau Centre.

 

One shooting victim succumbed to injuries. He was a member of the Canadian Forces.  Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his loved ones.

 

Next of kin notification is underway and as such, the victim’s identification will not be released.

 

One male suspect has also been confirmed deceased. There is no further update on injuries at this time.

 

This is an ongoing joint police operation and there is no one in custody at this time.

 

Ottawa residents are asked to stay away from the downtown area while the investigation continues.  If you work in one of the downtown buildings, follow the instructions from the building management you are in.

 

A number of RCMP and Federal government buildings are also closed to the public; as is Ottawa City Hall and all Ottawa Police stations.

UPDATE: Sadly the soldier who was shot at the War Memorial has died.

 

 

UPDATE: Ottawa Police Confirm at least 3 Separate Shooting Sites and Multiple Suspects

At least two people are injured, including a soldier, after shots were fired in the Parliamentary precinct in Ottawa on Wednesday morning; one shooter is dead and police suspect as many as two others are on the loose.

A dark-clothed gunman fired the shots just before 10 a.m. at the Canadian War Memorial, where a uniformed soldier was shot. The gunman then fled for Parliament Hill, where he unleashed more gunfire inside Centre Block. A security guard was injured before the sergeant-at-arms shot the suspect dead, according to multiple reports.

Ottawa Police said there was also an incident near the Rideau Centre, a large mall metres from Parliament Hill.

Live webcast from CBC after the jump:

Two days after two Canadian soldiers were hit by a car driven by Martin Couture-Rouleau, a 25-year-old Canadian who, as The Globe and Mail reported, "converted to Islam recently and called himself Ahmad Rouleau," Bloomberg reports:

  • *SHOTS FIRED AT CANADA WAR MEMORIAL

  • *OTTAWA'S RIDEAU SHOPPING CENTER EVACUATED: CANADIAN PRESS
  • *MANY DOWNTOWN OTTAWA STREETS CLOSED, CITY SAYS AVOID AREA

 

As Glenn Greenwald remarked after the attacks on Monday, the right-wing Canadian government wasted no time in seizing on the incident to promote its fear-mongering agenda over terrorism, which includes pending legislation to vest its intelligence agency, CSIS, with more spying and secrecy powers in the name of fighting ISIS.

As Glenn Greenwald remarked (regardin Monday's attack):

The right-wing Canadian government wasted no time in seizing on the incident to promote its fear-mongering agenda over terrorism, which includes pending legislation to vest its intelligence agency, CSIS, with more spying and secrecy powers in the name of fighting ISIS. A government spokesperson asserted “clear indications” that the driver “had become radicalized.”

 

In a “clearly prearranged exchange,” a conservative MP, during parliamentary “question time,” asked Prime Minister Stephen Harper (pictured above) whether this was considered a “terrorist attack”; in reply, the Prime Minister gravely opined that the incident was “obviously extremely troubling.” Canada’s Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney pronounced the incident “clearly linked to terrorist ideology,” while newspapers predictably followed suit, calling it a “suspected terrorist attack” and “homegrown terrorism.” CSIS spokesperson Tahera Mufti said “the event was the violent expression of an extremist ideology promoted by terrorist groups with global followings” and added: “That something like this would happen in a peaceable Canadian community like Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu shows the long reach of these ideologies.”

 

In sum, the national mood and discourse in Canada is virtually identical to what prevails in every western country whenever an incident like this happens: shock and bewilderment that someone would want to bring violence to such a good and innocent country (“a peaceable Canadian community like Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu”), followed by claims that the incident shows how primitive and savage is the “terrorist ideology” of extremist Muslims, followed by rage and demand for still more actions of militarism and freedom-deprivation.

Images from the scene...

 

The Canadian Dollar is surging against the dollar...

 

*  *  *

Glenn Greenwald updates his previous comments about Monday's attack...

Multiple conservative commentators have claimed that this article and my subsequent discussion of it are about this morning’s shooting of a solider in Ottawa. Aside from the fact that what I wrote is expressly about a completely different incident – one that took place in Quebec on Monday – this article and my comments were published before this morning’s shooting spree was reported. So unless someone believes I possess powers of clairvoyance, the claim that I was commenting on the Ottawa shooting – about which virtually nothing is known, including the identity and motive of the shooter(s) – is obviously false.

 

Then there’s also the extremely predictable accusation that I was justifying the attack on the soldiers. I know from prior experience in making these arguments that no matter how clear you make it that you are writing about causation and not justification, many will still distort what you write to claim you’ve justified the attack. That’s true even if one makes as clear as the English language permits that you’re not writing about justification: “The issue here is not justification (very few people would view attacks on soldiers in a shopping mall parking lot to be justified). The issue is causation.” If there’s a way to make that any clearer, please let me know.

 

One more time: the difference between “causation” and “justification” is so obvious that it should require no explanation. If one observes that someone who smokes four packs of cigarettes a day can expect to develop emphysema, that’s an observation about causation, not a celebration of the person’s illness. Only a willful desire to distort, or some deep confusion, can account for a failure to process this most basic point.

Well, brevity IS the soul of wit, and it beats saying "those oither people who I'm sure aren't like me" every time you point to those other people you're sure aren't like yourself.

But yeah... "sheeple" is right up there with "muzzies" on my list of irritating Newspeak.

Oh my, I'm so concerned that a cop or a soldier got shot.....not.  Who gives a shit about any of these fuckers?  When they're not tazing grandmothers, or shooting 34 year old mothers who are lost with their 1 year old baby in the car, killing homeless people looking for food, or shooting the pet dog, or bombing wedding parties or torturing suspects, we're supposed to worship them and feel sorry for them when they get shot? HA!!  BULLSHIT. Fuck them all.  I couldn't give a bucket of warm spit over these fucking bastards getting shot.

Subject IS false dichotomy because YOU left out the part where government uses the death penalty to threaten and/or eliminate opposition, not to mention career prosecutors who could give a damn if an innocent man is executed as long as it boosts their ratings in pursuit of public office.

I spent quite a bit of time camping and such in BC back in the day and from all appearances Canadians don't follow their gun laws.  Came up more than once around campfire talk that there are stockpiles of weapons buried all over BC.  They can have weapons but there is an endless litany of BS laws about keeping them inoperable in storage etc. etc.  Your fine having a gun in Canada but once you transport or use your weapon you stand good odds of going to prison, or at least the laws are set up that way.

Was peacekeeping ever really peacekeeping though?  That's the slippery slope we went down.  Or... ummm... actually... we were always just killing people or setting up dictatorships.  Was Canada involved in true peacekeeping or just playing a lesser role with a lower profile?

I recall we were in Rwanda, but got no support, probably because there is no oil there.

We were also in Cyprus preventing the greeks and turks from killing each other.

Now its all about following the US like some lapdog.

Ms No, I believe that we really were peacekeepers and many of our "elite" believed in the ideals of peacekeeping and statesmenship.  They believed we were different from the USA and even UK.  That is not to say they weren't used or influenced by other forces for less than ideal purposes.  There has been a definite change in our country.

I live in rural Ontario a lot of the people here can trace their ancestory directly back to the early settlers here in the 1700 and early 1800s. The place was built on hardwork, clearing trees and brush, draining wetlands, farming, building roads and railways, mining the resources etc. and that  spirit still lives on.  Simple hardworking people who stayed out of each others hair but were willing to help each other for the promise of a good life.  They're the kind of people that would defend their houses and farms (lots of hunters around here) but are not likely to want to go kill people for no reason.  Working class people tend to prefer working and building things as opposed to going someplace else and killing and pillaging.

Canada has been dragged to this position, I don't think many of our people like it or are comfortable with it.  Interesting to see what happens, but I don't see many people where I live getting excited to fight ISIS.

I have quite a bit of faith in the intentions of Canadian citizens and I would agree that there has been a great deal of change.  The cancer here matastisized quickly also.  As always, in debates such as this we must remember to differientiate the views of the citizenry from the views and actions of their government.  Certainly, Canadians as well as Americans, cannot justify their governments involvement in conflict by stating that "they were used and influenced by other forces" or "dragged", this is often the case with any secondary actor in any conflict. 

Canadian citizens are among the most respectable human beings on the planet, having said that, your country is also a founding member of NATO and has its paws in numerous conflicts, Vietnam Somalia etc.  The cancer seems to have been present in your country longer than you realize or want to admit to yourself.

Oh, fuck you. I had plenty of uncles and cousins who fought in both World Wars, long before the US was involved in either one. This "peacekeeping" bullshit is crap brought about by 1960's hippies. If you're not proud of Canada's military history - go look up who were the "Aces" of WWI fighter pilots for a start - then get on your knees, pussy.

Good point. They are supposed to get us to believe Harper is the target but really it's the common man who is being made to pay. The soldier who was killed is not even really a soldier. He was a reservist and probably never even fired a gun. At least not in combat. Now Harper will take away our freedom as much as possible.

Alan Fotheringham [a journalist] characterized Ottawa as 'the town that fun forgot' because Ottawa is like a dull grey overcast rainy day every single day. Furthermore, if you think golf is boring you have not seen Ottawa, folks. A word to the wise, change the TV channel or throw on a classic movie.

NOTE: the entire downtown core is on lockdown and the Ottawa Police Services, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and the Ontario Provincial Police are all making overtime today.
The cost of policing in Ottawa just went up and our Ottawa Police Services budget is now in trouble because of the amount of police needed to respond to this incident.

Time for gun control here! Oh wait...

I got a chuckle seeing female cops running with guns as seen in the video. I know there are some badass women out there when it comes to overall toughness and also shooting ability but come on, most of these female cops must be borderline useless at anything other than handing out speeding tickets.

I like people going on about multi culturalism as if it is a bad thing. The idiotic patriotism and mindset everyone should adopt the same culture is a big reason why so much bullshit in history has happened instead of just letting people live their lives the way they want. You see it with how peope get so antsy over homosexuals wanting to marry...if homosexuals want to marry then what the fuck difference does it make to you? Does them being married mean you will be included in their bedroom activities?

Countries are just a land mass with invisible borderlines. Acting like people in between those imaginary lines should all conform and act the same is idiotic. What great logic from such a supposedly"evolved" species where they think the human race should act like ant colonies in various places of the world. 

I do think that everyone in a country should be able to fluently speak the native language though. Oher than that, I don't give a shit what culture people have/follow or what they do with their lives. 

The human species really does need to be wiped off the planet if people just can't mind their own business and not screw with others. "Evolved" my ass...

Yawwwwwnnnn....this distraction is already burnt out and very boring.

Channel check. Next distraction from the well planned crashing of the economy, please.

And no controversies before the elections of the derelict congress critters and senate toads. Remember, the stupidest thing any voter can do is to vote for an incumbent that is wholly responsible for the insanity that has run rampant in every way for long to long now. If you are dead broke and jobless, blame the current leadership. ALL OF IT!

It is time for a real change. Elect every constitutional and Rule of Law candidate that you can. This election, IF IT GOES, might be the last election America ever sees. If you vote, join the landslides for the true American candidates, not any of the paid off lackeys.

Incidentally, if you listen to the Internet radio, Dr Francis Boyle will be interviewed in the third hour today on the Alex Jones show. He is sure to have some very interesting information about the obola hoax.:

Voting is counterproductive, there are no acceptable candidates that swear to uphold the Constitution and devote his political energies to restoring same. Show me just one of the weasels that actively campaigns to take all government psychopaths off the special bennies teats that citizens cannot dream of getting on.

When someone produces one that will work to remove the levers of power I'll vote again, until then I absolutely refuse to ever again vote for a compromise lesser of two evils. It would be like drinking a pony keg with only a teaspoon of sewage added. Would you, the reader, drink it? A moderate is half pig shit and half horse shit, all others are just shit.

I WILL NEVER VOTE AGAIN.

Canada needs to rescind it's current gun laws.  Arm the populace.  Canadians, by most measures, are good, decent, law-abiding people.  Disarming the people is folly.

I'm sure that if this incident happened here in the US, the Obama administration would quickly put pressure on the agency in charge of responding to it, to declare it an act of "workplace violence".  Lets just face the facts here.  Wahabbi Muslims have declared war on western culture, western countries, western people.  All the other brands of islam will quietly support, aid and comfort these assholes because they just wouldn't be "good muslims" if they didn't support jihad.  There is no chance of the muslim communities policing their own.  There is no chance of muslim countries condemning this type of behavior abroad other than to give lip service, and then claim victimhood in the same breath. 

I'm done playing nice with muslims.  Call me a racist.  I simply don't care.  When your religion is founded by a thieving pederast, don't expect the fruit to fall from the tree.

Once in a while and perhaps as often as weekly I would find myself sitting at the street light as Jean Chretien's Lincloln Towncar will pull in on the left with him in the back right passenger seat. The light will change and off he will go - the middle car in a three car security detail.

What are you talking about, there have never been any proven false flags in Canada.  Well, maybe there was that Chateau Montebello G20 thing where 3 masked policemen (carrying large rocks) masquerading as protestors were caught trying to incite peaceful protestors to violence, but that's all.

...

Well, there was that other thing, but it was so long ago everyone has forgotten, remember those RCMP guys the press nicknamed "The Dirty Tricks Squad", although federal police oficers planting bombs in mailboxes would be more appropriately called state terrorism than dirty tricks. Aside from that, I can't think of anything else.  That's not so so bad.

Wolf Blitzer is doing his best to push the word "radicalized," childrens.  Do your best to use this word as much as possible.

All Muslims are violent, m'kay?  All 1.3 billion just want to kill Jews and behead infidels.  All of them. Sure, the US and UK and Israel have each killed by orders of magnitude, more people than Islamic terrorists and jihadis in the past couple hundred years - but they were ALL BAD, m'kay?
