In case you didn’t hear, there was a shooting at Parliament Hill in Ottawa and a Canadian soldier has died. Sigh the gunman was able to get into the actual parliament buildings and there was a shootout in there that claimed his life and luckily no one else.

Parliament Hill came under attack today after a man with a rifle shot a soldier standing guard at the National War Memorial in downtown Ottawa, before seizing a car and driving to the doors of Parliament Hill’s Centre Block nearby.

MPs and other witnesses reported several shots fired inside Parliament, and a gunman has been confirmed dead inside the building, shot by the House of Commons Sergeant-at-Arms, according to MPs’ eyewitness accounts.

A Globe & Mail reporter has a video from inside Parliament, while you don’t see the shooting go down you can hear it and it’s chilling… I might shoot real guns and play airsoft but would hate to ever be in a situation like that.

We’ll find out the motive behind this shortly I’m sure and I wonder if it’ll affect our foreign policy.
