One or more shooters entered the Parliament building in Ottawa, Wednesday morning. A soldier who responded was shot and later died. Gunfire broke out at two other locations nearby, Rideau Centre and a war memorial. Schools and daycares are on lockdown, as is the US Embassy. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper cancelled a planned visit in Toronto with Malala Yousefzai, the recent Nobel Laureate who is in Canada to receive honorary citizenship in recognition of her bravery and advocacy for women and girls worldwide.
