The 2014 Canadian Parliament Shooting meme stems from a security footage still of the lone gunman during the attack on Ottawa's Parliament Hill. While a solemn historical event, the image eventually transitioned into the world of internet culture and historical memes. It is typically used in a 'POV' (point of view) context or to describe a dramatic and unexpected entrance into a situation. Users often caption the image to depict themselves entering a room with high intensity, albeit for mundane or humorous reasons, contrasting the severity of the original photo with lighthearted daily scenarios.
