Prayers for the wounded soldier. One shooter dead, looking for others.

Horrible! Dozens of shots? Multiple shooters? Reading it on CNN.

Multiple locations. Talk that it could be radicalized citizens who have coordinated with ISIS.

And Canada is a very peaceful nation, more or less. Hopefully they will be safe. Sending wishes and prayers for their safety.

Very shocking. For some reason I don't think anyone is prepared for anything bad to happen in Canada. It's still on CNN, but I have the sound muted. It's obviously still active. I hope they get it under control.

Lotta outlaw bikers up there with axes to grind too. This thread won't last but it is something to be discussed.

Things are still not concretely known yet.

They said they just increased their thread level in Canada yesterday.

The FBI is requesting that all their offices raise their levels due to ISIS threats, just said on CNN.

Very upset, so heartbreaking for Canada. Just so upsetting.

Canada just sent planes to help with the fight against ISIS.

Here? BTW, IMO Fox has got the best coverage so far.

Awful...

This is horrible. I have visited Ottawa many times. It is a beautiful, peaceful city. They are not reporting any terrorist connections but I fear they will announce that eventually, especially given what happened this week in Québec, where a soldier was killed by a radicalized native. My thoughts and prayers go out to our Canadian friends. I visit at least once a year and love Canada and its people. I am saddened, and angered, by this event.

I'm surprised that only the news channels are reporting here. The major networks haven't broken into regular programming. I would think it would be considered pretty major news.

I am a little overly sensitive right now but can you please explain the more or less comment.

We have never started a war but have stood side by side with our allies and suffered great losses in the pursuit of maintaining democracy and freedom.
