Government caucus was just informed that CF soldier has died.

Sadl, Reports are true. RIP.

Yes , its terrible that people have been killed but in Europe these attacks happen far too frequently, but the people march on no matter what !!

Condolences to the family of soldier that was murdered.

 

[Budsfan]

Game should be cancelled for sure now, horrendous just horrendous.

Source says police are "still actively looking for suspects" in shootings and are asking people to stay away from windows and rooftops.

Even if that is marching into the enemies plan and a larger attack.,

Please NHL, postpone tonights game in Ottawa.

 

[Philoops]

I hope all leaf fans, and everyone else, stay safe. Looks like the game will be cancelled, postponing the rivalry. But I hope you're all safe emotionally and otherwise. Scary times to be alive

 

[horner]

Warm wish to the soldiers family.

Over reacting to the game being cancelled, not the murder

BREAKING: Ottawa hospital says it received 3 patients, 2 in stable condition. Won't give update on Hamilton reservist shot at #WarMemorial.

Any confirmed reports of the Solider being dead are likely false at this time. Hospital aren't giving updates on him

A Minister tweeted it out, apparently they have been given work, or so says CBC.

You have to forgive some of us, we're not used to this. There likely isn't a bigger plan, but you never know.

Sounds like it was 3 or 4 individuals likely working together (timing is everything).

Via @BonsieTweets: Leafs had their pre game meal and brief meeting. No word from the NHL regarding the game tonight

 

[Kamiccolo]

God damn. Some people I know knew the soldier that was shot. Conflicting reports about if he is alive or dead, and it is very hard on them right now.

This is terrible.

 

[Joey Hoser]

I don't see whats so unthinkable about this. Its a couple people with guns.

Not to downplay the tragedy, but its not live we've been invaded.

 

[Alexander Baigle]

They better play. Shootings happen all the time it happens to a normal citizen no big deal but the government oh shut the city down. Grow some balls.

Well I don't know about you but most people I know aren't involved in shootings 'all the time'. This is a coordinated attack with multiple shooters at the Federal Government buildings, the symbol of our Canadian sovereignty. The public is absolutely in danger if people are walking the streets with guns. Even if this happened at a mall with no political connections there would still be out-cry.

You're completely ignorant.

It was only a matter of time before Canada became a target for terrorist actions - sadly , its a wake up call .

 

[JoeyBeans]

No game.

 

[MajorityRules*]

So we can talk about this in here after all?

One of the young guys who works for me was standing at that memorial the last 2 weeks. He just arrived home this week. He's pretty shaken up about all this.

 

[Alexander Baigle]

source?

 

[Leafsrock95]

Are you for real

First of all leaf team is in lockdown

And there minds would not be on the gm

its sad and fked up and RIP to the soldier but your going to cancle a sport game becausee of a shooting? Cmon....

Ottawa arena is 30-40 mins from downtown not even in the AREA.

 

[TootooTrain]

I don't see whats so unthinkable about this. Its a couple people with guns.

Not to downplay the tragedy, but its not live we've been invaded.

If this is connected to the ISIS threats made on Canada just weeks prior (speculation on my part), I don't think it needs to be downplayed at all. Especially if there are more suspects still on the loose. This is a serious situation.

 

[LeafsMonster]

Holy crap I just heard. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families and victims. This is just horrible
