Terror struck in the Canadian capital this morning.

A soldier standing guard at the National War Memorial was shot dead by a gunman, who then ran into the nearby Parliament building and began shooting before being taken down by police fire.

Officials say that they believe more than one gunman was involved in the incident, so they’re actively looking for additional suspects.

The Parliament itself and other buildings nearby were immediately put on lockdown while the situation was brought under control.

This incident comes two days after two soldiers were ran down by a ‘radicalized’ element. One of the soldiers and the attacker died.
