Shooter shot a soldier guarding the War Memorial, and then made his way to Centre Block in Parliament Hill.  Updates still coming in:

Apparently gunman has been shot and killed.

EDIT: Although that MP seems to be wrong based on what police are saying...
 
Thoughts and prayers are with those who are injured and affected.
Things are coming home...and we will have to start being more vigilant and aware now that there has been a call to attack our forces and their families where they live and breathe.

Changes are a coming. Parliament Hill being attacked as CBC puts it will bang the war drum more and start making people enlist.

There's suspicion he may be right, but there may be a 2nd shooter.

Yeah too much conflicting info so I'll wait it out until there's official word.

Eyewitness tweet says that one shooter is indeed down after being shot but more on the loose possibly as there have been shots fired at Chateau Laurier now.

@RosieBarton reporting that shots were JUST fired by Chateau Laurier.

Reports of up to 50 shots fired on Parliament Hill. Witnesses say they saw man with a rifle. Prime Minister's Office says Harper is safe.

Damn... Harper got away...

I didn't write it... someone else said it.
Don't hate the messenger.

Police say a shooter is on roof of building at Metcalfe and Sparks 1 block from Parliament Hill #ottnews #cbcott

Everyone on the street is being ordered away or indoors due to active shooters on the roof.

Shots fired at Chateau Laurier and at the sparks street location as well as on the hill. Strikes me as at least 3 shooters in that case.

Police source has told a Globe colleague of mine that a second shooter has been shot

I disagree. Kanata is a long way away from Parliament Hill.

It is and it isn't. I lived in Ottawa for 5 years. Nothing that's considered Ottawa or surrounding areas is really that far. While it feels like it's in the middle of nowhere, it's really only a short drive away. Also, it's not necessarily about the threat itself, but about treating things with the proper respect. The arena may be in Kanata, but they're still Ottawa's team.
