Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Ottawa: One gunman killed, multiple shooters suspected, 30-50 shots fired inside halls of Parliament

Oct 22, 2014 11:42 am By Robert Spencer

soldiers1Still no indication that this is jihad. Still no indication that it isn’t. “Soldier shot outside of Parliament, one gunman ‘killed,’ but ‘multiple shooters’ suspected,” by John Ivison, Justin Ling, Josh Visser, and Jake Edmiston, National Post, October 22, 2014 (thanks to Lookmann):

A soldier was shot at the National War Memorial by an unknown assailant Wednesday morning and there are reports of 30 to 50 shots of gunfire inside the halls of Parliament.

“Gunman at Parliament’s Centre Block has been shot and killed,” Conservative MP Bernard Trottier tweeted at 10:30 a.m. Tory MP Bob Zimmer also reported the same. Those reports are unconfirmed as police are still actively searching the area and say it is “not a secure scene” as there may be multiple shooters.
LIVE UPDATES

Two sources told The Canadian Press that Kevin Vickers, the sergeant-at-arms for the House of Commons and 29-year RCMP veteran, shot a gunman. In video taken within Parliament, about a dozen gunshots can be heard within the halls.

Witnesses reported hearing shots in different corridors of Parliament and some fled the building by using the scaffolding erected for renovations.

After 11 a.m., there were more unconfirmed reports of more gunshots, this time near the Chateau Laurier hotel, northeast of Parliament.

Several medics were performing CPR on the soldier before he was taken away by ambulance.

“There is a shooter on the loose,” a police officer in the area told the Post‘s John Ivison, shortly after 10 a.m.

One suspect was described as “5’9-5’10, overweight and wearing a dark jacket, with a white scarf around his face,” by Stuart Barnable, a Liberal staffer who said he witnessed the events from East Block.

A Toyota Corolla, with no plates on it, was left outside of Parliament Hill. Multiple witnesses said they saw a gunman get out of it and attack the soldier.

Chuck Bronley of Ottawa said he was certain the victims was one of the ceremonial guards at the War Memorial.

Reports of at least one active shooter sparked chaos in Canada’s Parliament as MPs — and the Prime Minister — meet just steps away from where a gunmen opened fire.

Reporters and staffers grabbing breakfast and coffee were ushered in to the fifth floor cafeteria as security confirmed that there was an active shooter on the 2nd floor….

    A poster on the Jerusalem Post says the attackers wear wearing Kefiyyahs – ‘Palestinian’ scarves.

    Clowns!

    Of course if it is jihad look for the names to be withheld, social media accounts to disappear, media to feign ignorance, and the Left to cook up a conspiracy theory linking the entire event to Harper.

      Because there is a REASON!

      They cannot as from a famous movie scene “they CANNOT handle the truth!”

    At this point it’s not a question of jihad, it’s a question of details regarding which Islamic supremacists did it. Hamas-linked? ISIS? A new convert to Islam? CAIR linked? Maybe an African strain of the mental virus?

    Not surprised.

    In Canada, there are strict gun control laws up there. In the USA this gunman would go down very fast. Americans are ARMED to the teeth.

    I am taking bets to be fair I am giving 20 to 1 odds. I say its a Jihad attack. Canadian liberals specially NDP must be working very hard now working on their spin that it has nothing to do with Islam. LOL

    If this is a Muslim attack – then it is a day that could change everything.

    Makes you wonder about the nature of the ‘islamophobia’ accusations to follow. This is not a woman at a meat packing plant, but the Canadian War Memorial and Parliament. But no doubt these Muslim groups – as brazen as they are – are already typing up their press releases on what is acceptable to say – over what could yet be another jihadist attack.

    But this time – if it is indeed an Islamic attack – the tone could change.

    The Obama response – a warm letter to the offenders’s mosque – expressing his heartfelt apology to the members – who had to listen to the ire of the Oklahoma public. While saying nothing to address the victim – beheaded – by a person who learned how to be Muslim at that very same mosque. The fallout in this case the Canadian House of Parliament coming under attack – would demand response based more in reality.

    Throwing a bit of politically correct language at it – will not quiet this one down.

    This is what happens when you invite Muslim to your country!! This guy on TV keeps spouting “some crazy guy” was involved!! Wonder who is crazy here – the guy who did it or the Canadian leaders in denial!! Morons – our leaders will get us all killed!1

    obama’s canned response may go something like this …

    “Although tragic, workplace violence is everywhere, even in Canana. And just a reminder: islam is a religion of peace. Thank you.”

    We can always count on obama for the right answers …sarc!

    If , and I’m sure it will, this turns out to be an attack by the death cult zombie, and the media and the left wing govt. try to white wash it, then it can only mean that the left has declared war on Canada and taken the death cult zombies as allies.

    Oct 22, 2014 at 12:54 pm

    Are Canadians going to revoke immigrant visas of all Muslims and send them back to the countries they came from!! No, that won’t be politically correct and it will interfere with the religion of multiculturalism that all Western countries practice now!!

    Nothing can sway the West from the path of self destruction they are following now!!

    Stop Islamophobia.

    There is no evidence of phobia anywhere.

    There is a clear and present danger from Islam to the civilised world.

    Use all necessary force to eliminate that danger to the last participant
    the last material supporter, the last financial supporter and the last
    inciter and their sympathisers.
