Police have said there are 'two or three' gunmen inside the building and one of the gunmen has been killed. After Parliament was placed on lockdown, police swarmed downtown Ottawa as other shootings were reported at the Rideau Centre mall and the Chateau Laurier Hotel.

A spokesman for Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Harper was safe and had been evacuated from Parliament Hill. He will make a statement about the attacks later today.

When she arrived she was asked to give a urine sample. but when she went to the toilet her waters broke.She was examined and doctors could see a head and said she was 9cm dilated. Her contractions were so close together she was unable to go into an ambulance, so she gave birth in the GP's treatment room with the baby delivered by her GP and partners and the surgery staff. She also managed the 30 minute birth with no pain relief. Baby Erin Louise Roberts was born weighing 6lbs 12oz. Despite the shock of finding out she was pregnant, Ms Evans says she loves being a mother. 'I love motherhood, even though it was completely unexpected I wouldn't change it for the world' she said.
How far would YOU go to cover up for a friend who had committed murder? Secret camera experiment reveals how ordinary people are prepared to hide evidence and lie to police to protect their pals
Using actors posing as police, hidden cameras, and rooms wired up with secret microphones, each person was lured to a central London location and told that the friend, who was in on the plot, desperately needed their help. They were told there had been a violent incident the night before, directed to a 'bloody' shirt, and asked to hide it - with all of the four doing so with barely a second thought. The real test comes when 'police' knock on the door, asking for the whereabouts of their loved one. While each lies to say they don't know - two of the 'marks' make a break for the stairwell when the fake officers tell them they need to be taken in for questioning.

The sentence has been criticised by some as too lenient and sparked calls for it to be increased.
