Media: Shooting in Ottawa began simultaneously in three places
Canadian media reported that the shooting in Ottawa began simultaneously in three places.
"The police of Ottawa confirmed that there were at least three separate cases of shooting," - leads the message of the CTV News channel RIA "News".
It is noted that the shots were heard near the parliament building, the National War Memorial and the Rideau Center shopping complex. Details of the victims yet.
Earlier it was reported that an unknown person shot dead a soldier who was guarding a war memorial in the center of Ottawa. Then the shooting continued in the parliament building, where the alleged shooter was blocked. According to the police, several intruders could have participated in the incident, and one of them had already been eliminated, and the second could be on the roof of the building.
Agency Rider reports that the shooting in the capital of Canada was allegedly arranged by Michel Zyhaf-Bibo - a native of Quebec, who some time ago converted to Islam. This was reported by a source familiar with the circumstances of the investigation of the incident.
Director of the World Trade Analysis Center weapons (TsAMTO) Igor Korotchenko said that the Canadian shooter may be in the “Islamic State” grouping cell operating in the country.
"As one of the versions of the incident, you can put forward the assumption that the man who arranged the shooting in Ottawa, was a representative of one of the illegal network of terrorist IG cells operating in Canada," - said the expert.
In addition, in his opinion, it could be “Canadian Breivik”, who “could carry out extremist intentions and realize his ideological concepts through public killings”.
The incident in the Canadian capital was also commented on by US Secretary of State John Kerry.
“We condemn the disgusting attacks of today in Ottawa. (..) We have confidence in the Canadian law enforcement agencies, and we are ready to help them in any way. We will continue to work closely with our Canadian colleagues to ensure the security of our peoples and to resist extremism together in North America and anywhere else in the world, ”he said.
