I wasn't sure if they meant Parliament when they said "the hill" but that picture clearly answers that question.

I saw breaking news late on CBCs website that the terror alert was raised due to chatter.

I guess this is it.

I hope everyone is safe and the soldier that was shot is not fatally wounded.

Many MP's and media tweeting they heard multiple shots/smell gunpowder. Yikes.

Military units moving in.

Prime Minister was in Parliament, but has been moved via a secure tunnel away from Centre Block.

Harper is "safe, has left the Hill".

I think the woman just said "I'm not trying to be dramatic, but our nation is under attack."

I don't think she meant to say those exact words.
