OTTAWA — Police presence is heavy around a downtown Ottawa mall as police report an officer-involved shooting in the area.

Ottawa Police said on social media the doors to the Rideau Centre were locked, but they have since re-opened.

The shooting took place near the northeast corner of that mall, which is located a short walk away from Parliament Hill.

Police say there is no active threat to public safety, and there are “no outstanding suspects.”
