The two area MPs are safe after a gunman stormed Parliament Hill this morning.
One soldier was shot at the War Memorial and shots could be heard inside the halls of the Centre Block.

MPs and other witnesses reported several shots fired inside Parliament, and a gunman has been confirmed dead inside the building.
Police sources say there is more than one suspect, and shots have been reported at other locations surrounding Parliament Hill as the downtown area remains in police lockdown.”
