A gunman has attacked Canada's parliament shortly after a soldier was fatally shot at a nearby war memorial, forcing the capital Ottawa into lockdown.
The gunman was shot dead by the parliament's sergeant-at-arms, who has been hailed a hero by MPs who were caught in the building as dozens of shots were fired.
Police cleared the streets around the parliament as authorities investigated whether there were any other gunmen at large.
CBC News Ottawa has independently confirmed that the dead gunman was Canadian-born Michael Zehaf-Bibeau.
