Gunmen fire shots inside parliament building in Ottawa, Canada



According to Dailymail A gunman has shot a Canadian soldier standing guard at the National War Memorial before multiple gunmen fired dozens of shots inside the halls of Parliament in Ottawa.
Police have said there are 'two or three' gunmen inside the building and one has been shot dead.

After Parliament was placed on lockdown, another shooting was reported at the Rideau Centre mall, suggesting a coordinated attack.
Their shooting spree began before 10am - just as the leaders of Parliament were holding their weekly meetings. Witnesses reported seeing a gunman climbing out of a car, grabbing a rifle, shooting the soldier in the abdomen and then running towards Parliament Hill.

Ottawa police received a call at 9.52am that shots had been heard in Parliament, while journalists cowering inside said they heard dozens of rounds and could smell gunpowder in the hallways.
