It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

The condition of the soldier who was shot isn't known at this time, tiki - at least, it hasn't been released from what I've read.

I'm in Canada. Our Local 12 Noon News Hour has been spending the entire broadcast doing live feed reporting from Ottawa.
Yes, the soldier who was standing guard at the War Memorial has sadly passed from his injuries. His name has not been released as yet, until notification of next-of-kin.
Parliament Hill is totally surrounded by RCMP and they're' still investigating whether a second gunman was/is involved in some way - so the lockdown continues.
The gunman who shot the soldier has also died.
There's some more info in this link.

They were giving a press conference during the lunch hour Appears the number of locations where shots were fired has been narrowed to 2 from 3. Whether it is related to terrorism or not remains unknown.

No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

Suppposedly they were going to be debating gun control in the Parliament this afternoon. No idea if that's true or not. I'm not sure where I saw that either.

The Sergeant-at-arms of the Parliament is being called a hero for stopping the gunman inside the building from shooting more victims. Made me wonder, We have a Sergeant-at-arms in our houses of Congress. Are ours armed?

Just another crazy by the looks of things.....Sympathies to the family of the soldier.

I wish there was a way to eliminate the personal ability to attack others. We could advance so much further as a species if we could just stop humans from wanting to hurt other humans.
