From FBI spokesman Paul Bresson:
"Although there is no specific reporting indicating a threat to the United States, as a matter of precaution due to recent events, the FBI has reminded our field offices and government partners to remain vigilant in light of recent calls for attacks against government personnel by terrorist groups and like-minded individuals.
"We stand ready to assist our Canadian partners as they deal with the ongoing situation in their capital." -

What a tragic day...I hope this is the end and the beginning...So glad it was able to be stopped fairly promptly, but just a terrible, terrible event. I had flashbacks of 9-11 when I heard the news and wondered if more attacks would erupt here and there across the country.
