Shots Fired at Parliament Buildings in Ottawa
Prince George, B.C-. A gunman shot a soldier at the War Memorial in Ottawa this morning, then proceeded into the Parliament buildings, where more shots were heard.
The soldier’s condition is not known at this time, but Prince George- Peace River MP Bob Zimmer has tweeted:
“Shots fired at the HoC…lone gunman is deceased. We are ok.”
Further information will be relayed later as the details of the incident become known.
MP Zimmer has expressed thanks, tweeting:
“Appreciate our security staff here in HoC who put themselves in harms way to protect us. Words can’t express on a day like today. Thank you!
The Prime Minister has left Parliament Hill he is fine as are other party leaders.
Police have advised people to stay clear of area as it is an “ongoing police incident”.
There are now reports coming from Canadian Press that police believe there are multiple shooters and people are being advised to stay clear of windows and to take cover.
CBC reporters are saying there were dozens of shots fired inside the House of Commons where the Conservatives and Liberals were holding their weekly caucus meeting.
The situation remains fluid, and 250News will bring you more information as it becomes available.

This is terrifying, two CF members attached in one week? I hope this doesn’t start a full on attack from whatever organization is behind this.
Most probably these are two mentally unbalanced individuals with a propensity for violence and a death wish. An ex-CSIS operative yesterday described the Quebec murder as ” a lone wolf attack”
The Quebec killer was a radicalized Muslim convert who had his passport taken away and was being monitored. Mentally unbalanced for sure but it’s time to take off the blinders. Radical Islam is a very real threat. Writing it off as a loony lone wolf defies the facts.
Radical Islam is a very real threat to the mentally unbalanced members of our society who identify with violence as a means of solving problems. The Quebec nutbar was already being monitored by CSIS and the RCMP, Harper has already sent off troops and aircraft to try and kill ISIS members in the middle east, what else do you propose to do dow7501? Lunatics of any persuasion are dangerous.
For starters Herb, we need to take the threat seriously and stop the politically correct mindset of “root causes”. This is not a lone wolf situation of a few idiots. It’s an army of idiots. It’s happening across the globe in the name of Islam.
Oh I see, its all Trudeaus fault.
Don’t worry Herb. Trudeau’s opinions are irrelevant and immature as we are finding out. Can’t blame a drama teacher for this.
Pretty obvious that if they are resorting to this the air strikes are in fact working and doing considerable damage to the regime
Cf-18s are just leaving today.
