Disturbing. The man or men are still at large at time of this posting...

1. one soldier dead, one suspect shooter dead

One suspect shoote or more at large. Apparently much practice by security in case of this. What I do not understand how shooter got inside past metal detectors. But maybe the location had none.

2. I wondered the same. It was a large double barrelled shot gun not some

small fire arm. So metal detectors didn't pick it up and people didn't notice a chap carrying such a large weapon?

3. maybe he worked around the area

A friend in Ottawa said there are not metal detectors all over.

4. Interesting, I didn't know that. If that's the case then I could see security

changing that in short order.
