UPDATING: Gunman killed at Parliament Hill, other suspects sought

Source: Ottawa Citizen

A gunman has been shot and killed inside Parliament Hill’s Centre Block and police are swarming over downtown Ottawa hunting for other possible suspects after several shootings rocked Ottawa on Wednesday morning — including one at the War Memorial that wounded a soldier and another near the Rideau Centre mall.

The War Memorial shooting occurred just before 10 a.m., and the shooter then apparently drove to the gates of Parliament Hill and ran inside the buildings. A witness also reported that another man headed east, potentially in the direction of the Rideau Centre.

Witnesses said 30 to 50 shots were fired inside the Centre Block.

This is a large shopping mall and the main transit stop downtown. On this map, it's located on the far right south of the corner of Rideau and Sussex. At the far end of the mall, it opens up just across the road from National Defence Headquarters.
