Canada Shooting: 3 Suspects in Fatal Soldier Shooting Near Parliament
Heavily-armed police cleared Canada’s Parliament building today and are searching for three suspects after a trio of shooting incidents near the Parliament and killed a soldier wounded. Gunfire was heard inside Parliament.
One of the three suspects was “dealt with,” according to a spokesman for the Ottawa Police. Officials later said that male suspect was killed.
The gunfire prompted security force to hustle Prime Minister Stephen Harper to a “safe” place not at Parliament Hill, his spokesperson said. Harper’s usual office is in a building near the shooting site.
“The prime minister is safe and not on Parliament Hill and being briefed by security officials,” his spokesman Jason MacDonald said.
Ottawa Police said via Twitter the initial shooting took place at 9:52 a.m. at the National War Memorial of Canada, but that was just the beginning of the violent episode, which has now stretched into investigations in two other locations: Parliament Hill and the nearby Rideau Centre, a large shopping mall that was subsequently evacuated.
Ottawa Police Constable Marc Soucy told Canada’s CTV police were searching for more than one suspect and no one has been arrested.
Civic Hospital in Ottawa, the country’s capital, has received three patients, two of whom are in stable condition.
Earlier today witnesses told CTV they saw a man with long hair carrying a rifle and heard four shots fired at the soldier, who was guarding Canada’s Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Darn that workplace violence!
Waiting for Preezy to announce that he is “appalled.” Or will it be “concerned” ??
Prayers for the families and for Canada.
I’m expecting another one of Piers Morgan’s gun control speeches …
As stated on Twitter, I see that one perp was able to break into the Parliament bldg. but wasn’t able to walk out— nor will he ever again. POSUS and the SS are now taking notes, but from the 10th tee.
John Schindler (@20committee) has been posting good updates.
FoxNews’ Sheppard Smith on Canadian shootings: “We have no idea why this happened.” Faux Shep: “I don’t know that OJ was guilty.”
Not that ISIS called for attacks on soldiers and soldiers have been attacked. Twice.
This article says that the murderer’s father and mother (they’re divorced) both met their son last week for the first time in 5 years. http://heavy.com/news/2014/10/susan-bibeau-bulgasem-zehaf-michael-zehaf-bibeau-ottawa-shooter-parents-islam-libya/
In 2009, Susan Bibeau was Director General of the Immigration Division of Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB). She was under investigation for improper hiring practices, eg, hiring the unqualified politically connected. And there was (is?) a significant backlog of immigration cases. Don’t know the outcome but she is still employed there as a Deputy Chairperson. http://www2.canada.com/saskatoonstarphoenix/news/national/story.html?id=b27200a9-041f-499b-ac44-ea351dff0f90
The father (I presume before their marriage) had been a Libyan rebel fighting Khadaffi. What difference does it make at this point? (sarc off)
