OTTAWA -- A gunman opened fire at the National War Memorial, wounding a soldier, then moved to nearby Parliament Hill and wounded a security guard before he was shot, reportedly by Parliament's sergeant-at-arms.Despite the shooting of the suspect, police and soldiers continued a chaotic hunt, leading to speculation there was more than one suspect. "As to the number of suspects, we don't know," Const. Marc Soucy of Ottawa police said Tuesday morning. Ottawa police confirmed they had a call at 9:52 a.m. with a report of shots fired. Paramedics performed CPR on the soldier at the memorial and he was taken to hospital. But there was no word of his condition.
