Good guy with a gun... said:Veteran Affairs Minister Julian Fantino told QMI Agency that Parliament’s sergeant-at-arms, Kevin Vickers, shot one gunman dead.
“All the details are not in, but the sergeant-at-arms, a former Mountie, is the one that engaged the gunman, or one of them at least, and stopped this,” Fantino said from inside Centre Block. “He did a great job and, from what I know, shot the gunman and he is now deceased.”
Some pigs are more equal than others.
a school bus could have slammed into a train which then slammed into the parliament and it wouldnt make news in the US.
however, one lunatic w a gun in the parliament and its all over US news
how's that for ascertainment bias
With 1 or 2 more supposedly on the run we probably haven't seen the last of the shootings there.
That may be an artifact of the recording. The first round was solitary and the rest were in quick succession. The MPEG video codec used to record in most devices adjusts to loud sounds in order to keep loud sounds from getting compressed into unrecognizable noise. Also, there is an SPL rating on mics and if you exceed that, the mic actually pics up less, not more information. ie; The mic basically washes out to noise. So there may be a lot of things going on there including the acoustics of that chamber which would give any sound guy a heart attack if they needed to record clear ambient sound.
It could have also been a 12 gauge...
One of the reports state that a witness saw a man with a SG at the parliament building. So it very well could have been a 12 Gauge.
They just had one use a car after they pulled his passport when he tried to go to Turkey. He's sleeping with the fishies...Facebook told me it was ISIS terrrrrists.

Um, ah, seriously?That's pretty useless if that's all they had. Just sayin'
Do you even internet Bro?
Surprised the news reports haven't been scrubbed to say "lone gunman".
Canada has no 1A protection - they are "subjects" not "citizens" and as such their press has to tread VERY carefully on slander, libel, hate speech and generally saying anything .gov doesn't like.Surprised the news reports haven't been scrubbed to say "lone gunman".
An assassination of a head of state would be a major victory for terrorists.
