Ottawa hospital says it treated 3 shooting victims

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — A hospital says it has received three victims from the shootings in Canada’s capital.

The Ottawa Hospital says it has taken in three patients, and two of them are in stable condition.

The hospital would not comment on the status of the third patient, a soldier who was shot at the War Memorial.

A gunman earlier Wednesday shot and wounded the soldier as he stood guard at the memorial, then entered Parliament, where many shots rang out. Authorities also said there were shots fired at a nearby shopping mall.
