Live Feed here via FOX News
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.

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.

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.

Islam is a religion of Peace, dude, or have you not heard?
These head-chopping events are just random.
"Reggie, can you put it up my ass when I am down on my prayer rug?"
"Sure, munchkins!"
RCMP be on Obamatime
Where are Rickey and Julian!...........
Seriously though, did Ebola cease to exist in the US? Or will we not hear more about it until after 11/5 so as not to jeopardize any dems mid term chances?
Damn workplace violence!
all obola cases are locked up until after the election.
then the supernigger will legalize 60 million mexicans.
why is he still pResident?
Seems that way - no new cases, all the quarantined folks must have recovered, no news........till 11/5 at least.
why is he still pResident?
That's easy - because we still have a 1 party system. If we truly had 2 parties, or one with some balls, this guy would have been impeached long, long ago.
Terrorist? How racist!! I'm sure it's just workplace violence.

Well, my understanding of CDN gun laws is that they aren't very restrictive except for handguns (very restrictive) and so-called 'assault' rifles. Maybe there is a push afoot to make the long guns much more restricted too on the mistaken premise incidents like these would be prevented.
Yes because every terrorist will be sure to register their guns before they go to work. "Abdule, did you register that gun yet? No, well you will just have to miss today's attack."
Canadian uniformed parasites need their own Reichstag fire USS Maine Gulf of Tonkin 9/11 - but with less blood for the sake of politeness.
let us pray for those poor canuck anne franks on city wide lock down.
hiding in french canadian attic loft while rampaging nazi musselims roam the streets below..

soldiers of the tora bora bee thankful that the queen and her kosher cleansing mounted police are here.
to strike back at these loan wolf loan wolves lone all alone types the syrians and iranians and islamic freaks from moscow and vladyvostok.
are man o aman, shinbetya and mossadick kravmagna trained hit teams will win this low level operation.
you betta saturn believe it are masonic numbers numeracy out rank the enemies init
1 gunman. Imagine what 10 would do to the "police."
Hahahhahahahhaha, the cops are stooges.
"shelter in place."
Any righteous dude would whack the shooter. God these cops everywhere are total pussies.
Run, Eric Frein, run. LOL
Just neutered by a liberal goobmint. Sad. Whether we want to believe it or not, more is on the way.
It's coming to the US too. No doubt.
All the apologists for the crazy Nazi Muslims crack me up.
"Shelter in place" is what your navy people did a while back. In Ottawa, the cops and the RCMP and Parliament security marched down the halls until they shot and killed the mofo. Check out the video.
Very sad about the soldier being killed as well as the soldier Monday. Now EVERYONE with an agenda will come swarming out of the wordwork. Eric Holder has probably already decided it is workplace violence and not terrorism - not that anyone, least of all the Canadians, cares what Holder thinks anymore.
Why don’t these shooters raise an army using ‘gofundme’??
How much could it cost to ship 100,000 Chinese soldiers across the Pacific? I’m’ going to check Alibaba.
What the stupid terrorist did not know is that the Sargeant at Arms at Parliament Hill is the best marksman in the whole damn country.
the 'New Democrats'.....hahahahahaha
heres the new boss, same as the old boss.......
I think I see gunsmoke in the area of the stockade fence on the grassy knoll behind the memorial .... yes! in fact, I can smell the friggin gunpowder from here !!

Old time hockey....Eddie Shore....fuckin A......
The Washington Senators in the 1950's had an old-time player Eddie Yost, nicknamed the Walking Man because of his uncanny ability to draw walks from opposing pitchers. His lifetime on-base percentage was greater than the OBP of Willie Mays and Pete Rose. Eddie passed away in 2012.
We must institute martial law immediately!
More no knock raids, puppy shooting, and cavity searches!
We need more jocked up Walter Mitty cops in cargo pants and body armor!
They all got their 20 hour tactical active shooter terrorist go bag training courses and are ready!
Prepare thy anus!
Smell my finger!
USSA SOLUTION
Leave our borders open
soon we can
have 34 million
more running around
whats the % of jihad's all ready here
The irony of it all - "I got shot and killed at a war memorial." Well, the bright side is that soldiers guarding it now will probably get combat pay. Why don't we have Peace Memorials - probably because there's no money to be made with peace...
Islam ... The Religion of Peace?
judaism and christianity....the religions of murder?
Who was it that said "Evil men will always do evil, but to get good men to do evil, it takes religion" ?
Toronto Mayor Rob needs to be put in charge!
New York 911 start time was around 9:50 am New York time.
Boston bombing was around 9:50am Bean Town time.
Ottawa Center Block Terrorist Attack was around 9:50am Ottawa time.
Do we have anymore 9:50am false flag attacks?
10/22...10/22... eh !
Any more videos of eeeeevil Mooslims that only SITE intelligence can "find"?
lol.
FOX News? Really? Who in hell believes anything that a FOX news talking head would spew? Can you spell FALSE FLAG? Too bad they didn't get Harper.
Canada was smart enough not to give Faux Nooze a "news" broadcasting license a few years ago. They considered them an, Opinion show.
I lol'd.
As Greenwald said, there is an issue of "causation". And what caused it was they let Muslims into the country.
more likely because they let jews and christians in.
it is people like zhers tht cause this shit to happen. what is wrong with you people that it is so hard to follow a straight line? are you under the influence of drugs(not ecstacy) and alchohol or something? if you want your fellow comrades to live ya'll need to learn how to put one step in front of the other and not deviate from the path.
we'll make sure to identify your sort in kindergarten so these events can be avoided in their future.....for the safety of their generation.
I think it's one step in front of the other foot.
Instead of passing more laws and taking away more freedoms, cant we just get rid of all the muzzies and send them back to shit-hole-istan out of the way?
The .gov types want to label this as a terrorist incident but these were not foreign nationals attacking us. These were Canadian citizens and they were attacking the government, not us. The anger is very real and labeling it as terrorism will not make it go away.
The locked down the money/capital?
