Update: No Shooting at the Rideau Center Mall
Press Conference Now On

One shooter confirmed deceased.

However, if there was no shooter at the Rideau Center, then there is no logical reason why there needs to be more than one shooter. The shooter who killed the soldier at the War Memorial could have easily have done that, then walked a block and a half to shoot up the Parliament. (In fact, there are reports he was seen moving from the War Memorial to the Parliament.)

I think, given the false reports at the Rideau Center, we just might find out this one was one shooter after all.

That's from @benk84's CBC live feed.

The CBC notes that the belief of more than one shooter was premised on the idea there were additional shootings at the Rideau Center after the gunman was killed at the Parliament. But that premise now appears to be false.

I will get to other news soon. But this seems to be a big enough update, upending previous reports, to warrant its own post.

Press Conference: Still at @benk84's link, but also on the cable news channels.
