A video shows gunshots ringing out in the Parliament Hill building in Ottawa, Canada.

Dozens of officers approach a  part of the building, as shots start ringing out.

There’s no sign of a shooter or shooters on the video other than officials, but the gunshots come to a halt after about 10 seconds.

Witnesses say that dozens of shots–more than 30–rang out in Centre Block on Wednesday morning.

One soldier was shot and died.

One gunman is dead but police believe there is at least one other suspect on the loose.

Most of the downtown buildings are on lockdown.

Another video comes from Epoch Times reporter Matthew Little, who was in the midst of the chaos.
