A Canadian minister said that a gunman who fired shots Wednesday inside the Centre Block on Parliament Hill in Ottawa was shot dead by law enforcement.
Veterans Affairs minister Julian Fantino, who was in a meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper when the gunfire began, told the Toronto Sun that a sergeant-at-arms took down the gunman.
“All the details are not in but the sergeant-at-arms, a former Mountie, is the one that engaged the gunman, or one of them at least, and stopped this,” Fantino told the newspaper. “He did a great job and from what I know shot the gunman and he is now deceased.”
Police were investigating “several” shooting incidents — at the Centre Block, the Ottawa War Memorial, and a nearby shopping mall — and looking for possibly three suspects.
A soldier who was shot by a gunman while standing guard at the War Memorial has since died of his injuries.
Plus, as I recall, a day or two ago, a Canadian military vehicle was run off the road and the occupants were injured. Too many coincidences.
Ah more substance for the fearmongers
Time for Canada to seal its southern border with the US to prevent an invasion of S overeign C itizens (SCUSA). Despite the acronym, they are not polite!
Oh, please tell me that Canadians have not been infected with the gun fetish virus…
You mean the NRA finally managed to hit something that could shoot back?
And what are they doing in Canada, eh?
