I disagree, unlike complex attacks like 9/11 or larger bombings, both these less complex attacks, made-up of very few people, are much more easier to carry out........frankly, I'm surprised more haven't been carried out Post 9/11.

....like shopping malls, schools, grocery stores etc.

That's natural and DHS is increasing alert levels....Likewise the US military/NORAD.

Indeed.......and in my view, from watching the coverage by both CBC and FOX, it appears both media groups have been very careful to speculate and qualify any unconfirmed reports, I'll give them both credit.

Who knows? Government offices and Canadian Forces Bases are/or have been closed across Canada...........

I've heard, Vancouver General Hospital has been locked down.......maybe something happening in Greater Vancouver?

No goalposts moved at all.......but, clearly tracking these guys in such areas is more difficult.

I know Esquimalt is closed in and out..........sounds like the young Highlander has died.

Fox News Channel.......they were pigging backing Global, now they have their own reporters on the ground........Jon Scott has interviewed Charlie Angus , Mulcair's aide, Ottawa police.....

And to add, NORAD has just increased their alert level across North America........

Per FNC, the bridges out of Ottawa into Quebec have been closed....

It worked earlier........probably taken down.

Charlie Angus is being interviewed on FNC right now........sounds like the NDP members were in their meeting, with the shooter in the hall outside their room.

Are you in lockdown at work?

I think many posts will get buried in this thread........

JTF-2 deployed to Ottawa........nearly 44 years after the last time members of the Canadian Forces were in Ottawa protecting Government from an active threat.

Second shooting at Rideau center.........

Indeed....

Not sure, but he is a retired Mountie.

It sounds as if the House Sergeant-at-Arms got the first gunman........

Member Black Dog linked to the clip up on Youtube from the G&M reporter...

And bomb squad going through the suspects car.

That's subjective.........replace a car and SxS shotgun with large truck bombs

FNC, with Global News coverage, is saying shots have been fired at Chateau Laurier....

Not a surprise, all Canadian Forces bases are now in lockdown........
