Police say man believed to be soldier shot at National War Memorial
A Canadian soldier standing guard at the National War Memorial in Ottawa has been shot by an unknown gunman and there are reports of gunfire inside the halls of Parliament.
Ottawa police confirmed they had a call at 9:52 a.m. with a report of shots fired.
The gunman reportedly ran towards Parliament Hill, which is currently under lockdown.
The incident comes just two days after two Canadian soldiers were run over — and one of them killed — in Quebec by a man with jihadist sympathies.
However, a witness said he believed the victim was dressed in civilian clothes. The witness said he he heard one shot.
