Here are the relevant details as of this moment on the situation in Ottawa.

One gunman dead and one Canadian soldier dead. No information motives of the shooter. Multiple news outlets named the suspect as Canadian-born Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, born in 1982.

Police investigating multiple shooting sites in the vicinity of the Canadian parliament building. Early reports of a possible shooting near a major shopping mall have since been dismissed by police. What’s not clear is whether each of these shooting was the work of a single gunman who is now dead or whether there were multiple gunmen involved in the attack.
