Police say multiple shooters, one has been shot dead by the Sergeant-at-Arms.

Globe has footage of a gunfire exchange in Parliament.

This is absolutely terrifying.

Shooters still at large, 1 Hill guard wounded, conflicting reports on whether the soldier has died. Harper has cancelled all public events, all party leaders in secure location.

uOttawa campus is on 'lockdown' (just came back from campus) and the main shopping mall downtown has been evacuated. Pretty crazy, and pretty bonkers that some random guy with a rifle can enter Parliament block.

Hash, are you stuck on campus? I think I'm outside the lockdown zone. Kinda scary.

No, the lockdown only involves locking classroom doors afaik (although all classes are cancelled until it's lifted and they're telling us not to walk about). Most campus buildings don't seem to be closed, and buses still operating on the Transitway after Lees station.

edit: Jason Kenney tweeted that the soldier shot has died. Tragic and barbaric.

Streets in Centretown (where I work) are pretty empty, I'm told.

I first thought it was Hashemite, who decided to off Harper for good.

Terrorism and cold-blooded murder of innocents isn't funny, you sick freak.

Oh great... I get a horrible feeling we're going to be getting a lot more of this in the future from jihadists.

Harper will deliver a national televised address later tonight. Obama will talk to Harper at the earliest possible opportunity. Harper has been briefed by Bob Paulson.

The war memorial never used to have soldiers stationed there, until some kids decided to urinate on it a few years ago on Canada Day.

Have the police confirmed the death of one of the shooters, or is that still a report?

Second Ottawa Senators game in as many years postponed due to terrorism Sad

It's interesting how virtually no news has come out over the past couple of hours despite Ottawa still under lockdown. Was there a shooting at the Rideau Centre?

Is there still a shooter still at large, or have they confirmed that only one attacker was involved?

Police aren't saying anything, which tells me there is no one at large at the moment. I think the whole city would be under lock down if that were the case.
