    They just said a shooter ran into the mall and they heard shots with police chasing him. still all rumours though, one shooter is dead.

    I just read that they there was only one shooter and that they shot him dead. Only one officer got shot and is injured, but everybody else isn't harmed.

    Watching the news in Ottawa from here in Montreal with horror and dread! They're confirming at least a second shooter, somewhere near the Rideau Centre. And apparently Sgt-at-Arms Kevin Vickers shot the Parliament shooter and is responsible for probably saving lives.

    @segacs I am also watching from Montreal. this is kinda scary to see what is happening right now. Just when you think it can't happen where you are, think again.

    Crazy. I'm listening to it online on the CBC since my son is home for lunch. Thought they got the shooter but now they won't confirm anything.

    I'm a few blocks from Parliament Hill and we are still in lockdown. Very scary and unnerving!

    Yup, heard about that from a co-worker this morning. I hope that the injured soldier is okay. Pretty scary after those two soldiers got run down recently by that maniac.

    Here in Winnipeg they found 6 dead babies in a storage locker this week. What is going on in this country? Just nuts.
