Big Guy Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 It is now 10:00 a.m. in Ontario. I thought I might start this thread as a place to discuss the ongoing news. There is nothing on any media page yet so I will post an OP once it appears. There has been a shooting on Parliament Hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GostHacked Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I am looking for info on this. Let's see how much it is ramped up after the 'terrorist' attack on the two soldiers. Please post info as you get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Guy Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Watching CTV. Suspect apprehended. Soldier shot in the chest. Weird sitn - MP's tweeting from inside while hiding from a gunman who was also inside the building.

GostHacked Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Here is some. A soldier was shot at the War Memorial ,,, and shots fired at Parliament Hill. http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/soldier-shot-in-ottawa-at-war-memorial-1.2065443 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-29724907 Witnesses reported seeing a man running toward the government buildings, which have been placed on lockdown. A soldier has been wounded in the attack, Canadian media report. The incident comes amid the nation's raising of its terror threat level from low to medium, after a Muslim convert was killed by Quebec police after hitting two soldiers with his car. "Shots fired at War Memorial at 9:52am today; one person injured," Ottawa Police tweeted on Wednesday. A government official earlier said the raised threat level was in response to an increase in online "general chatter" from radical groups including Islamic State and al-Qaeda. Ministry spokesman Jean-Christophe de Le Rue said on Tuesday that the increased level "means that intelligence has indicated that an individual or group within Canada or abroad has the intent and capability to commit an act of terrorism". Again, targeting the soldiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please post info as you get it. This will get more reaction, not because of the soldier being shot, but because the MP's would be in danger as well… I'm waiting for their reactions.

Big Guy Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Pictures of emergency workers applying external heart massage on somebody. I hope they catch this guy (or guys) alive so we can get some answers. Edited October 22, 2014 by Big Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boges Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 It'll be interesting how they will reveal the perpetrator. If he is Islamized this will mean there's a co-ordinated effort to attack members of the military. Exactly what ISIS called for. People will definitely be on edge and profiling will be inevitable.

Never let a crisis go to waste. More security theater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GostHacked Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Also, where are the militarized SWAT guys?? Watching CTV's live stream and CBCs audio stream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boges Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Uh, not necessarily. It'll be the conclusions that will be drawn. People don't just shoot people in public areas that have a military tinge to them just cause. Shootings are usually some sort of personal affair or gang-related.

Topaz Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I just heard that the person had a rifle and either going towards the Parl. Building or was inside! So does the government believe NOW to roundup those 80 people and put them in secure place so no more military get killed????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point is, when you say, co-ordinated effort, you're implying there's a direct link between the perpetrators. Pretty huge leap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is some crazy guy like the Fredricton shooter, then no worries. But seriously if this becomes a trend and the people can be linked to Islamism people will panic. Every landmark will see much higher levels of security. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phew, for a second I thought it might take a whole 2 pages for someone to suggest a conspiracy to support the CPC. Box checked, all is normal again.

Perhaps but two incidents like this in 3 days don't sound like a coincidence. Also 2 shootings at the same time in the same city sound like the type of stuff Islamic terrorists like to do. Bendgazi, 911, 98 US Embassy bombings etc. Ultimately we don't know right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all the same area. If you know downtown Ottawa at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a matter of coincidence as. let's say this latest incident is also tied to radical islamists. That doesn't mean they were working with each other; could be a copycat deal. New reports saying more than 50 shots fired ... but the guy is apparently carrying a shotgun. The police and military also have guns, hey?

This might be one of those cases where one did it and some other guy wants his 15min of fame… he did it on yesterday and I'll do it tomorrow...

Which is the concern. They may have a private group planning this. There may be someone waiting to do it out west next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
