I don't want to link to any particular site for fear of being called "leftist" or "gun crazy" or whatever.

One tweet says "The sad thing is, the Canadian soldiers who stand guard at Ottawa's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier do not carry ammunition."

Here's to hoping the morons are quickly apprehended and detained, and that justice can be served, and that anyone affected by this comes out of it alive and well (conflicting reports on whether the soldier shot is dead or alive at this time).

The NY Times is the #1 Newspaper in the World, so at the risk ....

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/23/world/americas/canada-parliament-gunfire.html?hp&action;=click&pgtype;=Homepage&version;=BannerSubHedSumLargeMedia&module;=a-lede-package-region&region;=top-news&WT.nav;=top-news

OTTAWA — At least two gunmen traumatized the heart of the Canadian government on Wednesday, with one shooting a military guard at the National War Memorial and then entering the adjacent Parliament building, where multiple rounds were fired. Shooting also was reported at a nearby shopping mall.

Police officers rushed to secure the Parliament building and move occupants to safety as they hunted for what Canadian news reports said were possibly two or three assailants, in what had the appearance of a coordinated attack.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported that one assailant was killed. The condition of the soldier who was shot was not immediately clear. Witnesses reported earlier that they believed the soldier had been killed.

Marc Coucy, a representative of the Ottawa Police Service, told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that officers were looking for “multiple suspects” in shootings at three locations.

The shootings came amid heightened concern about terrorist attacks in Canada, two days after a Muslim convert, a radical jihadist, ran over two soldiers at a suburban Montreal strip mall, killing one of them. Prime Minister Stephen Harper, an outspoken critic of the Islamic State movement and other militant groups, has been considering the introduction of new antiterrorism legislation.

Soldier is thought to be dead, no official report however a senior Minister who is on scene tweeted his condolences to the family. 1 shooter was taken down by the Parliamentary Sergeant at Arms (who is a true badass) but no one knows anything more.

Sad, sad world...

Rideau Center Shopping Mall reported to be reopened. That's a good sign. Apparently you can't keep Capitalism down.

EDIT* Now the Ottawa Convention Center has been declared clear. Still nobody in custody but 1 dirtbag extremist dead. So hooray for that I guess...

    • Saw these today, this is a scam.  Joined in 2026.  Click his name and then his profile.  2 posts, no friends, one item for sale.  These clubs are probably takes from Temu. Facebook  
    • Range again today. A few freezers and a few smoothies. If I add a little speed I swing further arms go deeper and lower and more across again. Really like where this freezer got to on backswing:   This is a smoothie (ish). Clubhead tracks up the hands nicely but the things go a bit wrong: At normal speed: Lastly one shortish pitch shot. Pitching some days I come out and can drop it on the flag. Other days it’s going sideways. Like missing right or left by 10 yards from 50 yards and nothing in between. I suspect it’s from the hands coming out and the cut across. If I release it on that line it’s going left. If I hold it off it’s going right and then it’s timing. When it’s off it’s off. Feels like if I can get that under control it will tighten up a lot.     
    • Disney's Lake Buena Vista Golf Course. Which I believe used to host a LPGA tournament. Fantastic course, compared to what I typically play. So fantastic I carded a 115! in my defense it was 90 degrees by 9 am in late July. Not to mention whatever grass they had around the green was absolutely foreign to me, I could not get my wedge through it. The entire grass came up like it was a piece of shag carpet. Suffice to say my short game was a mess. but good times!
    • Nice Berger choke job to the Anchor Man who putted well.
    • The most important thing in my mind was Akshay responding all day Sunday. He was 2 over and five back at the turn and just get grinding. bridies galore and then on the fifth he bogeyed and on the sixth he played it far enough right that if he missed a little left it would be right by the hole. It was and he made the eagle. Stayed in it, kept playing great and kept getting pars. He very much deserved the win.
