POLICE TO INVESTIGATE CIRCUMSTANCES OF PARLIAMENT, WAR MEMORIAL SHOOTING. Those who feel that the Parliament shooter was was a political set up are wrong - IMO - since Harper would not allow such a threat on his live and attack on Parliament hill even to win re-election. Hugs, ISH =============== OPP to lead independent probe into Parliament shootings RCMP asks Ontario Provincial Police to investigate events inside and outside Parliament in which gunman Michael Zehaf-Bibeau terrorized heart of Ottawa. By: Tonda MacCharles Ottawa Bureau reporter, Published on Sat Oct 25 2014 OTTAWA—The RCMP has asked the Ontario Provincial Police to lead an independent probe into Wednesday’s attack on Parliament, during which police and parliamentary security staff shot and killed a gunman who stormed the government buildings, The Star has learned. According to sources with knowledge of the request, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, which gathered evidence immediately after the attack, is seeking an independent third-party investigation of events inside and outside Parliament in which several of its officers were involved in the massive show of force that killed the gunman. Mounties joined parliamentary security staff in the dramatic chase through Centre Block before Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, who minutes earlier fatally shot Cpl. Nathan Cirillo at the nearby National War Memorial, was himself brought down in a hail of bullets. The independent probe comes on top of a sweeping security review already ordered by Commons Speaker Andrew Scheer. Sources say it will be led by a credible, respected individual independent of the agencies and institutions involved. The Star has also learned that Wednesday’s attack, which unfolded while Prime Minister Stephen Harper was meeting with his MPs in a nearby room, has sparked an immediate — and significant — overhaul in security operations on Parliament Hill.
