Prince George, B.C.- Prime Minister Stephen Harper is  slated to address  all Canadians within the hour on the   tragic  incident on Parliament Hill this morning.

A  member of the Canadian  Armed Forces, standing honour guard at the National War Memorial , was shot to death.  He has since been identified as  24 year old Corporal Nathan

A suspect was then shot in the Parliament buildings.

That suspect has been identified as 32 year old Canadian born Michael Zehaf-Bibeau. The CBC is reporting Bibeau has  had run-ins with the law in both B.C. and Quebec.

Police say the situation  remains  “fluid  and  dynamic” and  have not said if  there are other suspects yet to be  found.

Governor General David Johnston has offered the following message:

Together with all of Canada, Sharon and I are shocked and deeply saddened to learn of today’s attacks.

At this most difficult time, we wish to express our deepest sympathies to the family of the Canadian Armed Forces member who was killed in this crisis. Our thoughts and prayers also go out to those who were injured today.

As governor general and commander-in-chief of Canada, I am grateful for the professionalism and courage of our security personnel and emergency responders.

-David Johnston

Terroist acting in Canada shooting innocent people, shooting a soldier doing his duty is unaccepatble. Glad to hear they shot the Perpetrator dead. Need to send message that if you try this in Canada you will killed. We won’t tolorate this type of behavior.
