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
  • *SOLDIER SEEN FALLING TO GROUND AT CANADA WAR MEMORIAL
  • *CANADA POLICE SAY OTTAWA SHOOTER STILL ON THE LOOSE
  • *CANADA PARLIAMENT EVACUATED AFTER SHOTS FIRED IN OTTAWA

  • *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.

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.

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.

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."

1 gunman. Imagine what 10 would do to the "police."

Hahahhahahahhaha, the cops are stooges.

"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.

 How much could it cost to ship 100,000 Chinese soldiers across the Pacific?   I’m’ going to check Alibaba.

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!

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...

As Greenwald said, there is an issue of "causation".  And what caused it was they let Muslims into the country.

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.

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.
