That was the the scene inside Canadas Parliament today, those heartstopping pops, more than 30 of them echoing throughout the sandstone hall sending govern am employees and bystanders sprinting for their lives. The crazy barrage of gun fire shut down downtown ottawa and left a canadian soldier dead. The soldier was standing guard at one of canadas most hallowed sites when a gunman apparently opened fire on him. He was later pronounced dead at a local hospital according to Canadian Police. Officials did not say how many people had been shot, but an ottawa hospital says they have released two other victims and people remain on lockdown throughout parliament and ottawas downtown tower. As police scour the area for possible additional gunmen, shutting down bridges and clearing the capital corridor, office by office. A senior u. S. Official tells cnn that canadian authorities have passed along a name of the suspect, and if its a name, and theyre combing through databases and signals intelligence hoping to discover something, anything that hints at a motive for todays insanity. Here at home, the gears of the u. S. National Security Apparatus turning at full speed. Norad, the aerial allowance with north american airspace is now on high alert in the wake of the shooting. It it promises to be long and complex, but already there are Unanswered Questions about whether perhaps canadian authorities missed any signals that it was a matter of time before someone struck. Days ago, canada raised its internal threat level citing general chatter from radical Islamist Groups including isis. On monday of this week, a 25yearold man who was being monitored for potential terrorist activity and had his passport revoked for wanting to go to syria, Martin Rouleau weaponized his car, killing a canadian soldier. Pamela brown has been monitoring these, vents. You told us about the other incident that killed a canadian soldier earlier this week. This has been a terrifying day for the people of ottawa. It started before 10 00 a. M. , walk us through what you know. On the point you just made, investigators are looking into a connection of those two events in canada. It is still a very active and fluid scene. One victim has died. The soldier that was guarding the war memorial and right now as we speak, heavily armed police are going door to door in downtown ottawa searching for any other possible gunmen. 9 52 a. M. , at ottawas National War Memorial witnesses say a gunman walked up to a soldier standing guard and shot him before fleeing the scene. Moments later gun fire erupts inside canadas Main Parliament building. Police officers fan out as lawmakers inside a caucus room try to protect themselves, piling up chairs in front of the door. Weve been told to keep all doors locked, lower blinds and stay away from windows that there may still be a gunman on the street outside. Just inside parliament as it all unfolds. It appears that the gun fire broke out at the foyer just at the entrance of the door and moved down the hallway toward the north toward the library of parliament where the second round of gun fire just in front of the library of parliament and at that point i saw a body slump down. Obviously, i couldnt confirm. A sergeantatarms kills the gunman. Two victims are rushed to the hospit hospital. Panic ripples across ottawa as reports of other gunmen might still be on the loose. Heavily Armed Police Escort people out of downtown buildings. Hours later, Police Confirm while there were shootings at the war memorial at Parliament Hill, was there no shooting downtown, but authorities are still asking people to stay away as they continue to investigate. We set up a perimeter that prohibits individuals from going on to Parliament Hill and there is an ongoing operation with the auto Police Service to clear Parliament Hill to make sure it is safe for everybody. Again, at this point we only know of one gunman. The fact that there might have been more could end up being pure speculation. We just dont know at this point. Also the Royal Canadian mounted police are asking for the publics help. Theyve set up a website so people can upload pictures or videos they shot at the scene. Pamela brown. Lets go to ottawa to people who found themselves in the middle of this. A producer with cbc canada and he was at the scene of the war memorial shooting moments after the attack. Describe what you saw. As you mentioned, obviously our newsroom went into overdrive just when the story surfaced just before 10 00 and we are only about a block away from the war memorial. I arrived along with several other reporters to a scene of obviously high anxiety and drama. There was a soldier on the ground and several officers as well as what appeared to be a civilian were performing cpr on the soldier and there was obviously, a fair bit of confusion at that point. You know, as the minutes passed several heavily armored heavily armed Police Arrived on the scene and began securing the area. Several witnesses reports that the gunman then fled that scene, and i can fill in a little bit of a blank from the Previous Report. The gunman ran from the war memorial and that his route toward Parliament Bill which would have taken him where the Prime Ministers Office is, and he hurdled a fence and it appears he then commandeered a car which was in the secure zone inside of the parl iament hill area, and took that car to the front of the center blocks, its called, the Main Parliament hill building, entered and as we heard in the Previous Report the shootout ensued with the sergeant at arms apparently shooting the suspect and killing him. We are watching the press conference. Police did not say definitively whether or not there was another gunman. What are you hearing . Well, as you can imagine, this had is a quickly unfolding event and at this point the details are murky. The police are neither confirming nor denying that there are one, maybe more gunmen on the loose. The bridges that connect quebec, they are open, but cars are being searched and as you can imagine, police are combing the downtown area as we speak in case there are additional gunmen at large. I can also give you an update on the injuries. Three people are in hospital being treated. One member of the Security Team from Parliament Hill had was wounded, two other individuals are being treated, but were not quite sure how they received their injuries. And, clear something up for me and my viewers if you would, chris. There was a report of a shooting at a nearby mall. Has that now been discounted . Did that not happen . Its difficult to say at this point. That mall is called the Rideau Shopping Centre in the downtown area and there was a scene of high anxiety there as a rumor or at this point were not quite sure, but people got word there may be another gunman in the mall and police now are saying that no one was arrested there, so thats still a situation that needs to be clarified. Obviously, in situations like this with a lot of adrenaline and a lot of witnesses, as you say, its murky. We dont know exactly what happened, but as of now it sounds to me like what we definitively know is there was a shooter at the National War Memorial who shot and killed that canadian soldier and according to witnesses you spoke with, that individual is the same person who went to the Canadian Parliament building and was shot and killed there. Thats what we feel like we know at this point. Thats right. It was the same individual that ran from the scene. He would have been up on Parliament Hill leaving the war memorial in a matter of two minutes. Witnesses report him running and as i mentioned, he would have hurdled a wall, carjacked a car and there was a circular driveway and it sounds like he took the car up to center block and by all accounts some rather heroic action by Law Enforcement on the hill, the sergeantatarms taking this guy out. Chris goldrick, thank you so much. Youre welcome. With us now is a member of the Canadian Parliament, the honorable john mckay. Mr. Mckay, thank you so much for joining us. Wach us through what happened this morning. Wednesday morning is caucus day for all of us. I was walking into my caucus room and literally taking off my coat and i heard this pop, pop, pop. I didnt think much of it. I thought it was construction because there was a lot of construction on Parliament Hill and security people came racing down the hall and ushered us out of the building asap and they sent us out the back of the building wondering what the the heck was going on and then the events unfolded as your previous guest described it. Sir, youve been briefed by Law Enforcement. What have you been told happened . Actually, we havent been briefed. You have not . Okay. No. Our state of information is the same state of information that you have. What do you know about how the shooter was stopped . Sorry . What do you know about how the shooter was stopped in the parl iament building specifically . Was it the sergeantatarms . We heard that from the news reports, but the specific location is in front of the library of parliament and the library of parliament is at the end of the hall of honor and you go down the hall of honor, two caucus rooms for the government and the official opposition are on either side. Its a pretty serious place to have a gun fight. On friday, the terror alert in canada was raised because of concerns about islamic extremist chatter from groups with isis. Are you at all concerned that raising the threat level didnt result in an increase of security at the Parliament Building as there should have been . Thats a question that is a legitimate question to which i really dont have an answer. I think you get invited into realms of speculation that i dont really think is appropriate until we actually get the the facts. I prefer the facts before the conclusions. Fair enough. Thank you for your time. A i member of the police is on the phone. What can you tell us about this investigation . I its still ongoing and theres still a lot of activity that is being investigated by tactical and patrol members on both sides of ottawa. Right now the only thing im able to confirm is the actions that were taken care of during the day starting from 9 52 this morning at the war memorial sites where shots were fired and there was a victim that suffered injuries from these shots being fired. He had been transported from the scene and has succumbed to injuries in the hospital. The suspects that we have acknowledged through witnesses as well as through information from the scene, one has also deceased at the parliament and we are still working closely with the information gathered by witnesses as well as the scene management, both the outstanding suspects. Its still an ongoing situation right now. Do you have reason to believe there is definitively another shooter on the loose or are you or is this just being cautious . Well, we have to apprehend and arrest the people that are involved in this mornings incident and at this time we dont have these people. So we dont have information as to whether theyre still be here and there are no other casualties that were able to confirm. So the sightings or information were working on is ongoing on the street. It sounds like youre saying there definitely is more than one person involved in this. Am i hearing you correctly . Yes, it is correct. Okay. Soity definitely more than one person involved. Can you tell us about the nearby mall . That there was a shooting at a nearby mall. Is that accurate . If you look at the whole scene itself, the mall is close to where the shooting occurred and we have to disseminate the information from witnesses that are either at the mall or close to the mall. So from that point people have to confirm is that what theyre talking about . And we have no confirmation from shootings inside the mall, but you have to understand that information comes from all venues of witnesses and its a very tragic and violent scene and it creates a lot of information that we have to go through and confirm. So right now we have no information, but it is confirmed about the location which is very close to the Rideau Centre. The Rideau Centre which is the mall i was referring to, there were witnesses or ear witnesses of people who heard a shooting and there is no confirmation of the shooting at the Rideau Centre, right . Thats right. One of the shooters, one of the individuals involved in this is dead. Is there anything you can tell us about who he was, what was possibly motivating him . Not at this time. Were we work very closely with the information of the suspect that were identifying and from that we have our agencies that we work with very closely which are all federal in regard to this type of information. Is it connected to anything . I dont have that to give you. This one a response from their criteria as a federal agency. We are working closely with the Police Forces that are surrounding the ottawa area, but right now what were able to confirm is what were dealing with on scene right now. Constable, just one last question. Just in terms of the suspect or suspects that are still wanted, do you have any information that the public might be able to help you with in terms of where he or she was last seen . How many were talking about, what they were wearing . Anything along those lines . I dont have those details. Its unfortunate. Were still filtering a lot of information through the witnesses. Officers are on the scene and they are actively searching right now areas that have possibilities of having these suspects. How long is that area going to be locked down . How long will police be searching cars crossing the bridge. How long will poem be in their offices. Thats something i wont answer until more is resolved. We thank you for your time. Appreciate it. The threat level just raised in canada. Did officials knew something at all or could this be related in to another story from canada. More on this latebreaking story coming up.

Were continuing with our coverage of the shootings in ottawa. Here is some coverage of president obama talking with the new ebola czar. Lets listen in. Obviously, the situation there is tragic. Just two days ago a canadian soldier had been killed in an attack. We now know that another young man was killed today and i expressed on behalf of the American People our condolences to the family and to the canadian people as a whole. We dont yet have all of the information about what motivated the shooting. We dont yet have all of the information about whether this was part of a Broader Network or plan or whether this was an individual or series of individuals who decided to take these actions, but it emphasizes the degree to which we have to remain vigilant when it comes to dealing with these kinds of acts of senseless violence or terrorists, but i pledge, as always to make sure that the national Security Teams are coordinating very closely given as not only canada, one of the closest allies in the world, but theyre our neighbors and our friends. Obviously, there is a lot of interaction between canadians and the United States in which we have such a long border and its very important, i think, for us to recognize that when it comes to dealing with terrorist activity, canada and the United States has to be entirely in sync. I have in the past and i am con if ied we will continue to do so in the future and Prime Minister harper was concerned about the American People. I had a chance to travel to the parliament in ottawa. I am very familiar with that area and am reminded of how warmly i was received and how wonderful the people there were. So obviously, were all shaken by it, but well do everything we can to make sure were stand side by side with canada during this difficult time. [ inaudible question ] we dont have enough information yet. So as as we understand better exactly what happened this obviously is something that well make sure to factor in in the ongoing efforts that we have to Counter Terrorist attacks in our count rry. Every single day we have a whole lot of really smart, really dedicated, really hardworking people including a couple in this room who are monitoring risks and making sure that were doing everything we need to do to protect the American People and they dont get a lot of fanfare. They dont get a lot of attention. There are a lot of possible threats that are foiled or disrupted that dont always get reported on and the work of our military, our intelligence teams, you know, the Central Intelligence agency and the intelligence community, more broadly, our local Law Enforcement and state Law Enforcement officials who coordinate closely with us. All right . Thank you, guys. Jim acosta is live for us at the white house now. Jim, these lone wolf attacks are a big concern for both the u. S. And canada. They are, and that was something that josh earnest was asked about at the briefing. He said u. S. And canadian officials have been having discussions about foreign fighters and lone wolfs who have could be turned against the west by isis in particular and he was careful not to turn the situation into ottawa as u. S. Officials have yet to say if there is a terrorist connection and i did talk to a wellplaced official, yes, while it is too early to say, theyre not ruling it out at this point. Coming up, authorities in the u. S. Are not taking any chances that a coordinated attack could happen here. What theyre doing to secure locations around washington, d. C.

Tell Tom Torlakson to keep fighting for a plan that invests in our public schools. Welcome back to the lead. Im jake tapper. Were continuing our breaking News Coverage on a series of Violent Attacks in ottawa, canada. Ottawa police just confirmed to us that theyre look for example more than one suspect in connection with multiple shootings in ottawas downtown area, specifically near the parliament. Theres been no official word that the suspects have ties to extremist groups, but canadians are not waiting for officials to label this an act of terror. Jason kenny tweeting, canada will not be terrorized or intimidated. What we do know is there have been calls by isis for lone wolf attacks on westerners. Todays incident comes days after a man ran down two canadian soldiers near montreal. That suspect had been arrested and had had his passport yanked after he attempted to travel to syria. Lets bring in phil mudd and cnn analyst paul cruickshank. Investigators have a name of a suspect in todays attack. Theyre not sure if its real or an alias. Based on your experience, give us a tip on what investigators are doing right now. You have an information explosion because you have to prove a negative. Did he ever travel here . Financial records, phone, email, student records, looking over potentially years. What youve got to do within the space of hours because you do not want to see somebody linked to him do something in an American City tomorrow morning. You have to start figuring out whether he ever traveled here, whether he had any contacts here and whether he was emailing here because if there is somebody who is part of a broader web of conspiracy you want to be on him tonight. The canadian Law Enforcement officials have enlisted the help of the fbi. They have given the fbi the name of this individual who is now dead. The suspected shooter, whether its a real name or anned a yas, they dont know. What can the fbi do with that name that canada cant do and more generally, what role will the u. S. Play in the investigation . Well, the fbi have a huge database of islamist extremists, and other sort of people with other motivations and right wing extremists and they can go through these databases and they can help the canadians try to identify and do they have links with any radical organizations and that kind of thing, jake. Paul, i want to ask you im sorry, phil, i want to ask you it was a due years ago when the then secretary of the department of Homeland Security janet napolitano, she made some comments about the canadian border, but in her walkback, she said the fact of the matter is that canada allows people into its country that we do not allow into hours. What was she saying . I think shes talking about immigration policy. Obviously a big debate in america today. If you look at can did over the course of decades their immigration policy is much more liberal than that of the United States. My guess is this is the kind of debate that might rise up again in canada as a result of this incident, but i think shes referring to the differences in immigration standards between the two countries. Paul, does the nature of this attack say anything at all about who might be responsible going after a soldier at the war memorial and going into the Parliament Building . Its interesting that the Canadian Police are saying potentially two suspects and that would suggest some sort of conspiracy, some sort of planning, a more ambitious attack than it was just one gunman, one suspect. I think that increases the likelihood this is some kind of a political terrorist attack, but not clear what the motivation is at this point or whether its linked to islamic extremism. Phil, the department of Homeland Security said that there is no indication that any of the events in canada today pose any sort of threat to the u. S. There must be some concern, however, about the potential for copycat attacks or perhaps even homegrown terrorists in the u. S. , seeing this as an inspirational moment or homegrown canadian terrorists crossing the border. Yeah, i would not have said that if i were them for a couple of reasons. One is as you just said, there r is one saying hey, if you can do it, i can, as well. Ill be thinking about it, i should conduct the same kind of operation. The second is something i experienced for a lot of years and the first kind of information you get in situations like this is often bad or just bits and pieces that you cant fully put together. To say at this point is that we dont have any indication, were not going to know for some time, maybe tonight, and then there are bigger questions about what this person might have done six months ago, 12 months ago. Proving a negative takes a long time and it is too early to come out and say whether this guy is linked to america or not. Its a good reminder because police after the the Navy Yard Shootings were saying there were three shooters that they were looking for and initial information often incorrect.

A string of shootings in ottawa that left one solar dead and the Canadian Parliament temporarily paralyzed and details trickling out from canadian and u. S. Law enforcement officials about todays attack. We know that just before 10 00 a. M. Eastern time a gunman toting a longbarreled rifle unleashed a torrent of bullets at a war memorial on Parliament Hill. [ shots fired ] before moving inside parliament itself firing shot after shot which is what you see in this video, forcing those inside to barricade themselves inside a caucus room or sprint for the exits. Constable chuck benoit said police are still looking for aye another suspect or suspects and theyre combing and combining their vast resources, rung the dead gunmans name through databases hoping for a hit on something that offers a clue as to motive. So far u. S. Law enforcement sources say it is too early to rule out a connection to islamist extremism or any extremism. The department of Homeland Security says there r is no specific threat to the United States. The shootings have put the u. S. Military on alert. Fighter jets are on the ready at norad and they have some sort of heightened redness and Barbara Starr was the first one and joins us live from the pentagon. What steps specifically is norad taking . Jake, because the situation is so uncertain throughout the day, norad, the joint command between the u. S. And Canadian Military raised the alert stattous some canadian aircraft in the region that could respond in ottawa, if needed. What we are told is they moved a number of aircraft to a base closer to ottawa to be ready if this took on a component where they felt they had to protect the airspace over ottawa, very typical and it shows just how concerned and how uncertain they are about what has really happened here. And barbara, obviously, the shooting at the war memorial in ottawa has caused u. S. Officials to take a look at possible targets in the United States. What is the u. S. Doing . Throughout the day theyve been doing exactly that, jake, looking at u. S. Military installations and what we now know is they have decided to increase security precautions at the tomb of the unknowns at Arlington National cemetery here in washington. Some of the most Hallowed Ground in this country. The tomb of the unknowns, of course, guarded by that precision team, that military honor guard around the clock and because the canadian situation unfolded at their war memorial against one of their military personnel, the decision was made out of an abundance of precaution to do the same here at the tomb of the unknowns.

[ meows ] the internet of everything is changing everything. Cisco. Tomorrow starts here. Welcome back to the lead. Im jake tapper and well continue our coverage of world lead. Pandemonium in parliament. Canadas parliament closed down, inside parliament itself. Tom foreman is over at the magic wall with everything we know about what happened today, when and where, tom, give us insight of what happened. It all launched at about 9 52 this morning. Witnesses say thats when at least one gunman came from around this building and approached the war memorial over here. The war memorial is something that is well known to all of the people in that area there. You have the honor guards and this is where many people lay poppies and they lay wreaths at the tomb of the unknowns. At this hallowed lace for canadians and the gunman headed off toward parliament this way. There are some who say he hijacked a car and took it up here. Its not entirely clear what the details are about that, but we do know that once he arrived at this location that he then entered to whats called the peace tower. The peace tower is a monument to world war i and a National Symbol and he went inside and there was a shooting in the foyer and a lot of shooting near the back of the building as he moved back toward the library area and he went back toward which is right back in here and the caucus rooms. Thats where he was finally taken down by Security Forces and particularly by the sergeant at arms, but it wasnt over there precisely because of what you were talking about, jake. Authorities had been perceiving that there may have been another gunman involved here. So what happened as a result is a whole lot of this entire area, buildings, offices, bridges, all closed down as they tried to search to see if someone else might be here. The toronto maple leaves were in town for a hockey game and they were locked down in their hotel because they were trying to find if there was another gunman there. Its all complicated and its what they must do precisely because they still think there might be somebody in here who is part of the shooting. Jake . Tom foreman, thank you. The investigation of the shootings will be an international undertaking. Canadian authorities have asked the fbi to help them trace the identity of the dead shooter. Two experts, sean henry, director of the fbi and former senior fbi profiler. Sean, the fbi says, quote, we stand ready to assist our canadian partners as they deal with the shooting. The bureau wants to know what happened in canada and how that might implicate or be an issue here in the United States. What type of intelligence can we collect . What type of intelligence can the United States, and fbi and other intelligence agencies have that might help the canadians if theyre looking for arth ooktor in that matter. There are two very important things you have to do, first, you want to neutralize the threat and gathering intelligence to see if this is a much broader plot and does it emmri kate canada or can can it affect the United States of america. They have shared the name of the suspect with the investigators. We have the name, but arent reporting it yet. How quickly can they put together a profile with that name . Depending on the amount of information they can put something together pretty quickly. They will do a personality assessment on the person and its looking into everything about that individual from the time he was a small child up until today and theyll look at his personality and his social life. Everything about him and theyll particularly focus any change of behavior that may have come about as a result r of any terrorist association, butta the what point did he start planning this and how did he carry out those plans and who helped him some. One of the interesting thing about this case is that it is a possibility that it is a homegrown terrorist, selfradicalized. Its very rare and we dont know whether this individual acted alone or not and the Canadian Police tell me they were looking for other suspects, but it is very rare that it would be anything other than one person . The fbi just concluded an active shooter analysis. Out of 160 investigations that they looked at these active shooters, only two involved more than one shooter. So it is unusual and that might lead investigators to conclude that this could possibly be that coordinated attack and potentially tied to terrorism. It is still very early and it will take a lot of investigation, but thats certainly what Law Enforcement and intelligence agencies will be doing right here. Thats what Law Enforcement is most afraid of is a mumbaistyle attack, multiple shooters killing a lotf people at once. I think that thats right. Specifically if were talking about a terrorist incident and actors are looking to do as much impact as they can, and wreak as much havoc as they can display throughout the community and multiple shooters will have that capability. Mary, one of big fears right now, copycats. Abslt olutabsolutely. 20 years ago when the fbi started to talk about copycats, we decided that someone wanted to have the same thing and now copycat behavior means theres someone looking at the shooting saying i know where he made mistakes and this is where i will do it different when its my time on the world stage. We dont know what the motivations of the shooter is, it might be an islamic terrorist and the attack on the u. S. Capitol, i think it was in 1998, that was i dont even know what his political motivations were. He was an Insane Person and he killed two Capitol Hill Police officers. I think you dont know and it will take days and possibly weeks to really uncover all of that, but i think out of an abundance of caution on the current stage that we face where we have terrorist threats here in the u. S. As well as in the western world, investigators will default on that and try to back away from that, they want to address the highest priority and terrorist is at that level and theyll look at that first and thats why canada raised its threat level last week was because of the threat of islamic terrorists.

The fbi on alert after shots were fired in and near Canadas Parliament building and a member of the Canadian Armed forces is dead along with one gunman and police in canada are not ruling out more possible suspects at this time. This is the second time just this week that the Canadian Military became a target, less than 48 hours before todays attack on Parliament Hill, Martin Ahmed Rouleau ran a car into two canadian soldiers in quebec, killing one of them. He is one of dozens of canadians suspected of being radicalized. His passport had recently been confiscated. We were working him along with other suspects and well need to let the investigation proceed. The canadas rail system was threatened. Police charged two men with conspiracy to commit a terrorist act on the trains there and those acts were sponsored by a familiar foe. The the individuals were receiving support from al qaeda elements located in iran. Luckily, that plot was foiled. While we do not know who is responsible for todays bullets, canadas involvement in the coalition fight against isis makes the country a bigger target, meanwhile, its ability to fight against the attacks is something he recently expressed doubts about. I would be fool hard toe say we have the bases covered. We do what we can. We are watching another suspected terrorist attack which was caught on security cam. This one in jerusalem, where a car rammed into pedestrians waiting at a light rail stop. Health Officials Say a 3monthold baby girl was killed and seven other people were hurt. One of them severely and Israeli Police say this was not an accident and theyre treating it as a suspected terror attack.
