The armed forces and the press. After canadian Prime MinisterSteven Harper announced the canadian aircraft and personnel would be taking part in the Coalition Air campaign against isis militants in iraq, the Defense Department subsequently announced new restrictions on how the media would be allowed to cover Canadian Military personnel deploying to that fight. This is how a clearly frustrated toronto Sun Newspaper wrote up the new media restrictions. This is that article from the sun. They explained for the first time although they, as the press, were being allowed to show that there were some canadian troops leaving to go fight isis in iraq, the new restrictions on them included news photographers not being allowed to show any of the soldiers faces too closely and News Reporters and photographers not being allowed to reveal the names of any of the men and women who were being deployed to iraq. The Defense Department also banned the Canadian Media from interviewing any members of those soldiers families as those soldiers headed off to iraq. The new restrictions went so far that a Public Affairs officer reportedly clicked through individual images with news photographers who were there to cover the departure of those troops leaving to go to iraq and the Public Affairs officer ordered news photographers to delete specific photographs in their cameras. Specific photographs that the military deemed were too specific about who exactly those canadian soldiers were. The canadian government explained that the elaborate new restrictions were because of fears that members of the military or members of their families might be targeted at home. Might be targeted in canada in retribution for the Canadian Military participating in the u. S. Led fight against isis. That was a new policy in canada implemented over the past couple of weeks. Nbc news also reported, published a story on october 8th, exclusively reporting that canadian authorities had overheard isis sympathizers talking about potential lowtech terrorist attacks inside canada. The intelligence that nbc reported two weeks ago was not any sort of spectacular terrorist event planned. Some major bombing in the works instead, these would be, individual attacks would be lowlevel attacks. Called them, quote, knife and gun attacks. It was maybe also going to include some sort of american targets inside of canada if that was possible, but that was the intelligence would not confirm the specifics of what nbc news reported about that intelligence chatter, right, about what they were overhearing among islamic extremists. But the canadian government did announce that same day that the mounties, the Royal Canadian mounted police were working on dozens of simultaneous, active domestic terrorism investigations involving canadian citizens. They announced that specifically they were monitoring 90 people in canada who they believed might be connected to islamic extremist terrorism, going so far with some of those people to revoke their passports so they could not travel abroad. This all happened before today. This all happened over the last couple of weeks in canada. Clearly, the canadian government knew something was up. Knew something was going on. Confident enough that something was going on that they instituted these new, unprecedented measures to create a shield of anonymity around members of military and their families. They were confident enough that something was cooking, they were willing to explain publicly they were monitoring 90 individuals inside that country for potential ties to terrorists and potential intention to join up with terrorist groups. So thats all happened over the last couple of weeks. Clearly, something going on. And then this week, on monday, there was what the canadian government is now describing as a terrorist attack. In a suburb of montreal, a strip mall parking lot. A man named Martin Rouleau reportedly sat in his car for two hours outside a veteran support center in that strip mall before apparently deliberately ramming his car into two uniformed canadian soldiers and running them both down. One of those soldiers was hospitalized and is now in stable condition. The second soldier, a 53yearold warrant officer was killed in that attack. The hitandrun driver then took off, led police on a highspeed chase, eventually rolled his car into a ditch. When he emerged from his rolled over vehicle, police say he was carrying a knife and they shot him and killed him. After that incident on monday this is fascinating. That happened on monday, two days ago. After that happened, police announced that the killer in that case, the guy who they shot when he got out of his car with a knife, they say, they say he was one of the 90 people who they had been monitoring in conjunction with ties to terrorism and terrorist groups. The mounties had Just Announced they were monitoring 90 people and one of the 90 people they were monitoring commits this crime. They say they started monitoring him in june when his facebook feed became increasingly radical and violent and expressed a desire to go join isis fighters abroad. In july, appears he tried to do just that. When he was attempting to leave the country to fly to turkey which is how most fighters, it appears have gotten into syria to join isis. He was apparently stopped in canada, arrested by canadian authorities as he was attempting to travel to turkey. They stopped him from doing so, they confiscated his passport and took him into custody. They did not keep him in custody. They said they had no basis to do so. But they kept in touch. Police say they were in regular contact with the man as recently as two weeks ago. They say their last meeting with him was on october 9th. Theyd also taken meetings with the emam. Taken meetings with his parents to stop him from the radical path they thought he was on. But after last talking to Police Two Weeks ago, the next time he surfaced was after killing that one soldier and wounding another. Again, that suspect in the monday attack. That suspect himself was killed after that hitandrun. And after that hitandrun targeting those uniformed officers in which one was injured and one was killed, the canadian government announced that they believed it was a terrorist attack, just days before, theyd also raised the threat level for the nation, the first time it had been raised nationwide since 2010. And then today, for the second time in three days, another uniformed member of the Canadian Armed forces was killed on canadian soil. Tonight, the canadian government has identified 32yearold canadian citizen Michael Joseph hall, aka, michael zehafbibeau as the gunman who was shot dead inside one of the main buildings in the Canadian Parliament in ottawa this morning. The man is described by authorities as a convert to islam. Hes 32 years old. He just turned 32 years old. We know very little else about him. His name was confirmed shortly after it was reported that canadian government provided his name to u. S. Authorities, specifically to ask the fbi for help in tracking down any potential terrorist affiliations or suspicious activities this man might have been involved in that might help them understand more about this attack today in ottawa and what happened today. Law enforcement officials in washington tell the New York Times tonight that a search of fbi data bases have not come up with anything on the guy, at least so far. When the news first broke, initial reports made it seem like there might be simultaneous attacks underway at three or four sites simultaneously in the canadian capital. Those initial reports this morning proved to be untrue. But they did create this very alarming international impression that there might be a sort of mumbai thing going on here, right . There might be a complex, coordinated assault involving multiple gunmen, multiple attackers at multiple sites all hitting places in the capitol at the same time. Thats what the initial reports suggested. Now, it appears, that what happened were shooting attacks at two sites. Close to each other in downtown ottawa, right at the heart of the Canadian National government, it was two sites and the two attacks were not simultaneous, but they did happen one right after the other. The first one was at canadas war memorial where they hold veterans commemorations, uniformed canadian soldier who has now been identified as 24yearold Corporal Nathan cirillo, shot and killed at the war memorial, apparently with no provocation and no apparent warning. Some of the saddest footage from ottawa today showed desperate efforts by passers by and other soldiers who rushed to the corporals aid trying to ve revive him after hed been shot. This is amateur video obtained tonight. The person who shot this video claims this shows what happens next after the war memorial shooting. This is an ongoing story, the details may change as we learn more and the investigation continues. But as of tonight, we do have this amateur video, which appears to show what happened after that initial shooting, that Fatal Shooting at the war memorial. What it appears to show is that after the war memorial shooting, the gunman from that shooting then got into a vehicle and drove away from the scene of that shooting but did not drive away very far. You can see on this map the location of the first shooting, National War Memorial in relation to the location of the second shooting. And as you can see from this aerial view, theyre a couple of blocks apart. The Canadian Parliament has an east block, a west block and a center block three buildings all tightly centered on what they Call Parliament hill. This video shot by a reporter shows what happened after the gunman reportedly entered into the center block and police started to close in on him down this sort of classical the reporter was there among the Police Officers moving toward the active shooter. Moving toward the gunman when this incredible barrage of gunfire rung out. We still dont know exactly what happened inside parliament, including basic details like what kind of gun the gunman had or how many times he fired or the eventual the eventual exchange of fire that led to his death. We dont know the details yet of his confrontation with Security Forces inside the Parliament Building. But what we are told by the canadian authorities tonight is that the gunman was shot and killed inside the Parliament Building by this man. He officially is the sergeant of arms at the Canadian Parliament, and it is a job that can seem very ceremonial, up to and including having to wear all the formal ridiculous ceremonial gear, right . For formal events and processions involving parliament. It is not just a formal he is the chief Security Officer for the parliament. And tonight, he personally is being described as the man who shot and killed this attacking gunman inside parliament. Who may have been the same gunman who killed Corporal Nathan cirillo blocks away at the National War Memorial. Canadian officials are not officially ruling out the possibility there was another person or multiple other people involved in this attack. The one suspects name that we do have is said to be the man who was killed in parliament today, apparently by the sergeant of arms. Was this one man, one gun . Is this one man, one gun acting in isolation . Should this be seen as a continuation of the threat and, indeed, the attack that happened in canada killing another uniformed soldier two days ago . Is this what canadian soldiers and intelligence agencies clearly have been bracing themselves against for the last couple of weeks . As they put in these new restrictions on learning the identity of members of the Canadian Armed forces fighting against isis as they announced an alert a change in the alert level, the terror level for the entire nation of canada as they announced they had 90 people under surveillance for potential ties to terrorist groups. As nbc news reported they had overheard chatter they were going to be lowlevel knife and gun type attacks by isis sympathizers inside canada. Is this what they knew was coming . And, how much of this particular story is over . After those first shots rang out this morning at about 10 20 a. M. Eastern time, the Apartment Building in ottawa was put under lockdown. The whole downtown. That whole downtown portion of ottawa was put under lockdown. People advised the public to stay away from the area, Parliament Hill and away from that part of ottawa generally. About an hour after that, all schools in the area in the university of ottawa were also placed on lockdown. Few minutes later before noon today, all military bases were placed on lockdown. That lockdown was lifted from ottawa schools and the university and then ultimately all of the downtown area. Within just the last few minutes, we are hearing reports that the lockdown on parliament itself, which had lasted all day today and well into tonight is just now in the process of being lifted. I said moments ago that we were hoping to speak with the reporter from the globe and mail who shot this remarkable video, including the sound of the fire fight inside the parliament today. Well, he is, as we speak, still inside parliament. And although the lockdown is now reportedly lifted in downtown ottawa and in the process of being lifted inside parliament. The reporter Josh Wingrove is still apparently unable to leave inside the building where hes been all day since he shot this at the very beginning of the confrontation and joins us now. Thank you very much for being with us. I appreciate it after a hard day. Can you tell us the circumstances of how you came to shoot that video today . It began as a pretty normal day, which seems, you know, silly to think now. We were just there. This is wednesday mornings are when mps have their caucus meetings. Its a good chance for all of us to get them on issues were doing. I was there for that. I had holed up in an alcove writing the story about 10 00 in the morning. And thats when we heard the gunfire break out. Now, at first, it was sounded like two types of guns sort of initial bursts, and thats around from the alcove and looked and seemed to erupt in the sort of rotunda of the Parliament Building. The big open area, sort of the grand entrance sort of area right in the center of the building. Its often filled with tourists, but sort of a there werent a lot of people there. And what we saw was spoke in the air and you can smell the gun powder and guards with their guns drawn. And it looked like they were on more of a hunt than a chase. In other words, it didnt seem they had their eyes on someone right at that moment. And so, we sort of followed and walked toward the rotunda as they moved down sort of to my left. And thats where the video we shot sort of kicks in. Thats moving down whats called the hall of honor where we had a tribute to all the soldiers canada lost in afghanistan. Thats where they were walking down. And theyre walking towards the library of parliament at the back and the left where our Prime Minister was with his members of parliament. You see them along it and opening fire, which is remarkable number of bullets. Seemed to me in the sort of haste of it all that many, if not all of those shots were fired from guards at what we presume was the suspect. And we saw, sort of, as i said, a body sort of slumped in front of the library. So the opposite ends of the rotunda. The whole thing took maybe three or four minutes. And as you can imagine, it was just absolutely surreal. And earlier attack and the deaths of the canadian soldier and just been a heartbreaking day here in ottawa. Josh, as you were trying both realizing what was happening and trying to figure out what was happening as you were following the Security Officers and trying to understand what they were doing, did you have any sense either then or immediately after if they thought there was more than one gunman if they knew there was only one . Or if they knew they thought they knew there was more than one. Was that at all clear to you . Its my firm sense they thought and think there was more than one. As i say, weve been in lockdown now since 10 00 a. M. Thats a pretty long time. And if you saw the building and or the area around the building were safe, i dont think thats the situation wed be in. We saw immediately after the shooting, tactical teams sweeping the building, breaking down office doors, you know, going room by room. And thats sort of what led us all to be gathered in the holding room were in now. Of course, people sought refuge all over the building. Couldve ducked into whatever corner you could find as the shots sort of rang out in this hallway that is the backbone of the Parliament Building. Its been a very chaotic day. Very fluid situation. Very Little Information here, for those of us sort of in lockdown and sort of in parliament. Were biding our time to wait and see when well be able to get out of here. They havent given any advice of when you might be able to leave yet . No, i wish, i think the fiances hoping for something. Josh winggrove. Still, right now, in lockdown there tonight. Josh, good luck to you. Thank you for talking to us. Good luck. Thank you for having me. Thank you. Weve got more ahead on the security situation
