One soldier standing guard at the National War Memorial in Ottawa has been shot by a gunman who then proceeded to Parliament Hill, which was promptly placed on lock-down. Video taken at the scene shows police rushing down a corridor after a loud shot, and returning fire.
One M.P says at least 30 shots were fired, and one report says there were 2 or possibly 3 individuals involved. One apparently was shot by an official in the parliament buildings, and policer now confirm that suspected gunman is dead.
The Prime Minister was whisked away from the area to an undisclosed secure area, and the leaders of opposition parties, along with all M.P's, are reported safe
Police in the nation's capital say there have been a total of 3 shootings.
This story continues to develop.
