| Soldier, security guard shot in Parliament Hill attack |
| 2014-10-22 |
| OTTAWA -- A gunman opened fire at the National War Memorial, wounding a soldier, then moved to nearby Parliament Hill and wounded a security guard before he was shot, reportedly by Parliament's sergeant-at-arms. Despite the shooting of the suspect, police and soldiers continued a chaotic hunt, leading to speculation there was more than one suspect. "As to the number of suspects, we don't know," Const. Marc Soucy of Ottawa police said Tuesday morning. Ottawa police confirmed they had a call at 9:52 a.m. with a report of shots fired. Paramedics performed CPR on the soldier at the memorial and he was taken to hospital. But there was no word of his condition. YouTube video: Gunfire in Parliament Hill building Witness Alain Merizier said the suspect was carrying a hunting rifle. The suspect had dark hair, was wearing civilian clothes and driving a black car, Merizier said. |

The US has repor locked down Arlington, while NZ has increased armed security for its Politicos. * FYI TOPIX > [National Post] ALLEGED OTTAWA GUNMEN AOOARENTLY HAD CRIMINAL PAST IN QUEBEC, REPEATEDLY BROUGHT UP ON DRUG CHARGES. * SAME > ISIS URGES JIHADISTS TO ATTACK CANADIANS: "YOU WON'T FEEL SECURE IN YOUR BEDROOMS". * SAME > [Toronto Star] ISLAMIC STATE CALL FOR DOMESTIC ATTACKS TROUBLED SECURITY OFFICIALS. |

| #9 Canada has put armed forces in the fight against ISIS. In retaliation jihadist chaps are bringing it back to Canada. Now is the time to project power. Psychopaths and/or Islamists may be nutters, but they do respect power when it is overwhelming. Maybe their actions are doing the collective "us" a favor by showing us who they are in a way that the MSM cannot sweep under the rug. It is tragic to have casualties like this---good people, good soldiers. But maybe the real problem of Islam needs to be faced, and that includes the so called moderate muslims that keep whining about being victims. |

| #8 Mr. Vickers is a former Mountie. Good thing he had a gun in what is likely a gun free zone. |

| #7 over the last three days, two Canadian soldiers have been killed by men who had their passports seized. Stopping wannabe jihadists travelling to Syria is misguided to say the least. Why should we care if they want to get themselves killed. Now it has tragic consequences. |
