Soldier shot at National War Memorial in Ottawa

[Malthus]

2nd assailment was apprently shot by the Sergeant at Arms of Parliement. That might be a first.

I came in to remark on this - rumour has it that the sergeant-at-arms for the House of Commons personally shot an assailant - pretty sure that's a first.

He should be knighted by the Queen.

That is exactly what my wife said as we were listening to the radio on the way to work.

Talks of 3 shooters, 2 dead.

1 solider injured and maybe another person.  It's hard to tell with live events like this, info & rumours are mixed.

Three shooters? Yeah, that makes it much more likely it's a coordinated terrorist attack rather than a single lunatic.

I don't know that's been confirmed, there are always rumors flying around in this kind of situation.

The one shooter that is known was seen moving from shooting the soldier to Parliament Hill which is only about 150 meters away.  A witness said the shooter wore a scarf with arabic writing on it.  If that report is accurate it seems likely that this is not a "lunatic" but rather another radicalized terrorist.

Yeah, though it's probably better to wait until we have more facts to draw any real conclusions.

[jimmy olsen]

Depending on when the shootings occurred, they look close enough to have been done by one man

Are there many terrorists that are not radicalized?

Agreed.  Which is why I was pointing out that the conclusion that the shooter was a "lunatic" may be a mischaracterization of what is really going on
