| Canada's parliament on lockdown after man barricades himself inside, authorities urge public to ‘hide' |
| 2025-04-06 |
| [NY Post] The Canadian Parliament was put on lockdown Saturday after a man barricaded himself inside — prompting authorities to urge the public to "hide." Ottawa Police and Parliamentary Protective Services responded to Parliament Hill’s East Block on Wellington Street — where senators and their staff operate — just before 3 p.m. and later evacuated the area, Ottawa Police said in a X post. Parliament Hill was still operating under a shelter-in-place order, with a heavily armed police presence cordoning the area, on Saturday evening. The Parliamentary Protective Services issued an alert at 2:45 p.m. urging people inside to "seek shelter in the nearest room, close and lock all doors and hide," according to CTV News. |
