11:01 pm
also coming up for you, anger on the streets of ferguson, missouri. new details emerge from the autopsy of a slain teen, and it threatens to push an already tense situation over the edge. lots to get to, but we want to begin in ottawa, canada, where a soldier, and the man who shot him, are dead at this hour. authorities still scrambling for answers. this all started wednesday morning in the canadian capital when the gunman shot and killed a soldier at the national war memorial. from there, he ran to parliament hill, that's where he burst through the building's main entrance and then began shooting. [ gunfire ] >> just got a sense of the chaos at the time. police say the gunman's name and
11:02 pm
michael zehaf-bibeau. witnesses say he opened fire inside parliament before he was shot by the sergeant at arms. investigators a bibeau converted to islam and had his passport confiscated after he tried to leave canada to fight overseas. prime minister steven harper addressed the nation. >> fellow canadians, in the days to come, we will learn more about the terrorist and any accomplices he may have had. but this week's events are a grim reminder that canada is not immune to the types of terrorist attacks we have seen elsewhere around the world. but let there be no misunderstanding, we will not be imr intimidated. canada will never be intimidated. this will lead us to strengther or resolve and our efforts and those of our national security agencies to take all necessary steps to identify and counter threats and keep canada safe here at home. just as it will lead us to
quote
11:03 pm
strengthen our resolve and double our efforts to work with our allies around the world, and fight against the terrorist organizations who brutalize those who other countries, with the hope of bringing their savagery to our shores. they will have no safe haven. now, the deceased soldier has been identified as corporal nathan cirillo. three other people who were wounded have been released from hospital. president barack obama says the u.s. will stand side by side with canada to prevent future terror attacks. he spoke with canadian prime minister stephen harper wednesday. >> obviously there's a lot of interaction between canadians and the united states where we have such a long border. and it's very important, i think, for us to recognize that when it comes to dealing with terrorist activity, that canada and the united states has to be entirely in sync.
11:04 pm
we have in the past. i'm confident we'll continue to do so in the future. the u.s. president there, susan candiotti is looking into what authorities know about the alleged gunman and joins us now live from ottawa. it's late in the night there, susan, but as we said earlier, authorities aren't going to sleep on this. they're going to try to find out more information as the hours move on. what new details are we learning about this man? >> you can be assured they are working through the night to find out everything they can about the shooter in this case, michael zehaf-bibeau. he was born in canada in 1982, and converted to islam along the way, but he was born michael david hall. now, they're trying to figure out as much about his background as they can. we do know that he had a history of abusing drugs in the past, and also in the past, had been arrested for some petty crimes. but that was some time ago. the question is, currently, was
11:05 pm
he alone wolf? was he self-radicalized? was he planning this with someone else? those are some of the questions they are trying to drill down on just now. we do know this, that his passport had been effectively seized. we don't know precisely when, but it was during an occasion when he was trying to travel overseas, according to our sources, to try to join the fight, to join jihad. however, that -- those privileges were revoked. we do know, however, that he did travel to the united states at least four times, including as recently as 2013. but there's no evidence at this time that he's linked to any u.s. extremist groups in the united states. but as they try to pin down more information, we are now also learning that he had, according to a friend of his, reportedly visited a mosque in vancouver
11:06 pm
not long ago, just a few weeks ago. and his friend said that he was, again, trying to travel overseas to study islam. at this hour, errol, it's pretty quiet in the streets here. although for hours and hours, a safety perimeter had been set up. for the most part, it has been taken down, but you can still see a police presence here. lights and barricades do remain. and way off in the distance, two blocks or so behind me, you see that war memorial, where a soldier was shot and killed, reportedly in the back, by the gunman in this case. and just to the front of that memorial, but about a block and a half away, someone has set up a make shift memorial or the start of one, with some candles, with some messages on it, and a couple of them read, "we will not be scared," and another one that says, "canada, we will stand on guard just as corporal
11:07 pm
nathan cirillo did, with love." that's the name of the soldier who was killed by the suspected gunman. errol? >> it's heartbreaking to see that, quite frankly and to know that soldier, who was so friendly to people who wanted to take pictures with him and he's now been shot. just a few days ago, susan, we were reporting on another incident in canada, another lone-wolf-type individual, who attempted to ram his car into the vehicle of two soldiers and killing them. he did kill one individual. he himself was shot by police and he too was someone that canadian officials were watching and was aware of, like the man behind today's shooting. our officials linking them at all? what are they saying as far as that's concerned? >> if they are, they're not saying so publicly. but certainly they're looking for any kind of connection, any signs of radicalization. anyone that he may have been linked to. so of course, during the normal
11:08 pm
course of things, they will be looking at his background in every way they can, looking at his phone records, looking at sites on the internet that he might have visited. looking for any linkage between his name and any kind of extremist groups. was he watching any of these al qaeda promoted videos and inspire magazine as they've been trying to recruit people to join jihad overseas. those are the types of things they're looking at. and i might add that while the prime minister here, steve harper, has said that canada will not be intimidated by this, there are many canadians here, certainly in this area, who are suggesting that perhaps with this gunman's ability to break through security and enter the parliament building and the great hall that perhaps there's now a loss of innocence forever in canada because of what happened here this day.
11:09 pm
and others that still say they want canada to remain an open society. certainly they'll be reassessing that. susan, thank you. >> now the shooting inside the parliament building, left lawmakers, journalists, and members of the public running for cover. as jim sciutto explains, the morning's events happened very quickly. >> terror on canada's parliament hill. >> guys, there's a shooter on the loose! >> 9:52 a.m. shots ring out at the war memorial. the victim, a canadian soldier standing guard at the site. >> the guy came from my left-hand side and came out with a rifle and shot at the man and then the guy went falling down. from the scene, police received multiple 911 calls. >> i heard a shot and turned
11:10 pm
around and there was a guy with a rifle around on the back corner, and just, pow. [ gunfire ] >> reporter: moments later, shots fired inside the parliament building, just a few hundred yards away. >> no, no, no! >> police scramble. a second round of shooting follows a minute later. lawmakers inside the building huddle in a caucus room. they pile up chairs against the door to barricade themselves in. police rush others outside to safety. >> hear this pop, pop, pop, possibly ten shots. suddenly the security guards come rushing down the hallway, usher us out the back of the building. >> in the chaos, a hero, sergeant at arms shooting down an armed suspect. canadian parliament reports the soldier shot at the war memorial is dead. an hour later, canada police
11:11 pm
announce, the male suspected shooter is also dead. police are unsure whether another gunman remains on the loose. >> we're still investigating. we're in the process with the rcmp, in the clearing of parliament hill. that's a slow process. >> reporter: and tonight, canada's capitol hill is still on alert. jim sciutto, washington. >> now we move our focus on the u.s. capital where there's been another white house fence jumper, if you can believe it. this one doesn't get nearly as far as the intruder who entered the mansion last month. the suspect barely made it on to the lawn wednesday night before two police dogs jumped him. he fought by kicking back the dogs. you look closely at the video there. good lord. you can see how much of a scuffle that was. secret service agents detained the man. the dogs were injured during the incident and taken to a vet for treatment. still to come on cnn, more on the shooting in canada.
11:12 pm
a witness describes what it felt like to be trapped in the parliament building as shots were being fired. plus, calls for justice are growing louder in ferguson, missouri, why a leaked autopsy report is adding to tensions over the police shooting of an unarmed teen. stay with us.
11:13 pm
>> i heard a bunch of pops, i
11:14 pm
thought it was fire crackers going off. i look across the street and there was a man with a rifle shooting at a bunch of people. everyone was running around. there were people on the ground. i won't say what i was thinking if it's live tv, but it was just something that you don't believe will ever happen. and it happened right in front of my eyes. >> another eyewitness account there. welcome back, everyone. we want to update you on our top story. canada's prime minister says his country won't be intimidated by terrorism. this after a gunman was shot and killed on parliament hill in ottawa on wednesday. police say he was the man who killed a canadian soldier at a nearby war memorial just moments earlier. the gunman's end came after a chaotic exchange. and just listen here to how this all sounded to those who experienced it. [ gunfire ] >> i don't know. there's a bunch of gun shots. >> are you kidding? >> a guy with a shotgun? >> yeah. i saw him come in.
11:15 pm
[ gunfire ] [ shouting ] >> where do we go? [ gunfire ] [ shouting ] >> it's just so frightening when you hear that. and the questions people are asking, as they hear the gun shots, they didn't know if it was multiple people, if they were safe, and they didn't know where to go to be safe. the shooting had people running for the exits of the parliament building, but not everyone could get out before the shooting erupted as it did. listen to how one lawmaker described to cnn what happened to him. >> we were in another committee room, doing -- listening to some
11:16 pm
testimony on a jobs issue when the security guard ran in. it felt surreal, yelling, get out, get out, get out, there's a shooter in the building. and as we got up to leave parliament hill, somebody yelled out, now don't go outside. as we returned, and our rooms were locked, we heard a volley of gunfire that had just has been described. of course people were shaken. there was not a lot of panic. but it was one of those moments where people felt, is this actually happened here? is this actually happening in ottawa? >> just past 2:16 in the morning in ottawa, people are trying to get some rest, but we'll have more on what happened there wednesday and if we get new information, we'll bring that to you right away. tensions are again running high in ferguson, missouri after the police shooting of an unarmed shooting.
11:17 pm
a tense stand-off wednesday night. two people were detained after demonstrators threw water bottles at a police barricade. protesters want the officer arrested and charged with a crime for killing 18-year-old michael brown in august. a leaked autopsy report is fueling more tensions over this case. why it may help support officer wilson's side of the story. >> the autopsy report is the latest leak from the investigation into michael brown's death. the report, first leaked to the st. louis post dispatch, reveals two details the public has not heard before. details about the gunshot wound to brown's hand, and forensic information that could help determine whether the teen had his hands up while being shot. witnesses, including this construction worker, have told cnn brown had his hands up when he was shot by police officer darren wilson. >> he had his hands in the air. >> we had an independent
11:18 pm
forensics expert examine the autopsy report which revealed where the bullets entered and exited brown's body. >> do the details of the report give any indication that his hands were up while being shot? >> i don't think so. based upon the positioning of the wounds, the entrance and exists and re-entrance. based upon all of that and the right-arm wounds, it's just inconsistent with him having his hands up. i understand other people might argue and interpret it differently. >> but the autopsy can't reveal if brown's hands were up between the shots in the car and the remaining shots. the autopsy also detailed a wound to the inside of his right hand, near his thumb and palm. one expert told the st. louis post dispatch, that that would indicate brown was reaching for wilson's gun. but forensics' expert says it's hard to determine if brown was reaching for the unholstered gun in the patrol car, but there was
11:19 pm
clearly a struggle. >> there's also blood -- michael brown's blood on the gun. and there's also michael brown's tissue on the outside of the driver's side door. when you put all that together, it really fits with a struggle that took place inside the vehicle. and again, it supports the story of the police officer, rather than the eyewitness testimony. >> we had no weapons on us at all. >> brown's friend, dorian johnson, who witnessed the shooting, says wilson was the aggressor, trying to pull the 18-year-old into his car, while brown was trying to run away. michael brown's family reacted to the leak, saying it's missing a key point. officer wilson shot michael brown multiple times and killed him, even though he was more than 20 feet away from his patrol car. this is the crux of the matter. some activists on twitter are calling the prosecutor's evidence tainted and part of a
11:20 pm
cover-up. the prosecutor denies the evidenclaim. with every week, tensions grow. ultimately there's concern that the grand jury decision could spark major unrest again in ferguson. >> some people are scared and they're stockpiling and saying they're not going to be able to get out of the house. and it's a lot of people that are scared, but it's some people that are just so angry, they don't care. sara sidner, cnn, ferguson, missouri. in sierra leone's capital, the need is great, and health care workers getting by with very little. coming up, freetown's battle against ebola.
11:21 pm
11:22 pm
welcome back. the united states is imposing another requirement on travelers arriving from the epicenter of the ebola outbreak in west
11:23 pm
africa. beginning monday, passengers from liberia, sierra leone, and guinea, will be required to monitor their temperatures and other possible symptoms for 21 days, and they will have to make daily health reports to officials. the number of people ebola has killed in west africa has continued to climb to nearly 4,900 now. and if predictions are correct, it will surpass 5,000. as you see there, the world health organization says that is out of currently almost 10,000 cases. going to take a closer look at sierra leone's capital, to look at why the number of cases is still rising there. there's just one treatment center in freetown. local officials say that's nowhere near enough. >> reporter: entering the high-risk zone of freetown's only functioning ebola treatment center. it has 120 beds, but only the staff to tend to 90 patients. doctors and nurses here, operate in full protective gear,
11:24 pm
rehydrating ebola sufferers, only a quarter of the patients are dying. among the adults, several children, fighting off the virus and hoping to be declared ebola-free. for 9-year-old daniel, who arrived last week, this must seem like a prison. but keeping him behind these walls is stopping the virus spreading. and the care he gets inside is life-saving. the problem is, this tiny clinic is serving a population of more than 1.3 million people. two other centers might open next month, including a british funded facility, but officials here say that's totally inadequate. >> it's not enough. definitely not enough. i think we need something up to 1,000 beds. how much do you have now? >> these are the only function, 100, 120 beds. >> you only have a tenth of what you need?
11:25 pm
>> yes, you are right. we need help. we need help. >> reporter: a nurse who caught ebola while trying to save others. she says, as a nurse, i want this to end, because people are dying. people are suffering. she arrived here on sunday and since then, more than 100 people have been infected in greater freetown. she's worried about her mother who lives here in one of freetown's poorest slums. you can see how vulnerable it is. children playing in open sewers. the concern is for places like this. this slum in freetown. 35,000 people living without sanitation. if ebola takes hold here, it could spread uncontrollably. >> that's a terrifying prospect for residents. >> if ebola is to take hold, it would be seriously disastrous for us, because you see how
11:26 pm
congested it is. >> reporter: ebola might be the killer, but it's poverty and ignorance that is allowing it to thrive. without more resources here, it is west africa's most vulnerable who will continue to perish. >> just striking that they only have a tenth of what they need there to battle ebola. but there is better news in the u.s., where ebola patients are surviving the virus. freelance cameraman ashoka mukpo left hospital on wednesday after about two weeks of treatment. he thanked his medical team and shared a laugh with them as well. a nurse who contracted ebola while treating a patient in texas, she's improving as well. amber vinson's mother says doctors can no longer detect the virus in her body. many people are hailing the canadian sergeant at arms as a hero after wednesday's shooting rampage in ottawa. he'll hear more about him, and

welcome back. to those of you watching in the u.s. and all around the world, i appreciate you staying with me. i'm errol barnett. here are the top headlines right now. canadian authorities are looking at possible terror links for the man suspected of opening fire inside the canadian parliament. police say michael zehaf-bibeau he shot and killed a soldier at the national war memorial in ottawa before entering parliament building. mps say bibeau was shot by the sergeant at arms. for the second time in weeks, a man jumped the white house fence. but unlike last time, the intruder never made it inside the u.s. executive mansion and we can thank some dogs for that. two police k-9s caught him on the lawn after he kicked them in a scuffle. the man was detained and charges are pending. police in jerusalem say a
11:31 pm
3-month-old girl was killed in a terror attack when a car rammed into people waiting at a light rail stop. police fatally shot the driver as he tried to flee. they say he was a palestinian who served time in an israeli prison. moving focus back to canada now. the prime minister says the country will do what it must to keep its people safe and will never bend to terrorism. he made the comments in his address to the nation and here's a portion of what he had to say. >> fellow canadians, in the days to come, we will learn more about the terrorist and any accomplices he may have had. but this week's events are a grim reminder that canada is not immune to the types of terrorist attacks we have seen elsewhere around the world. we are also reminded that attacks on our security personnel, and on our institutions of governments, are by their very nature, attacks on our country, on our values, on our society, on us canadians, as
11:32 pm
a free and democratic people who embrace human dignity for all. but let there be no miss understanding. we will not be intimidated. canada will never be intimidated. this will lead us to strengthen or resolve and redouble or efforts and those of our national security agencies, to take all necessary steps to identify and counter threats and keep canada safe here at home. just as it will lead us to strengthen our resolve and redouble or efforts and work with our allies around the world, and fight against the terrorist organizations who brutalize those in other countries with the hope of bringing their savagery to our shores. they will have no safe haven. >> now, witnesses to the rampage are helping to reconstruct the day's events there in ottawa. randi kaye walks us through the timeline. >> reporter: 9:52 a.m., a blaze of gunfire at the canadian war memorial in ottawa.
11:33 pm
one of two soldiers standing guard at the memorial is gunned down. >> i was locking my bike up. i heard four shots. from that direction, i turned around and ran. i saw one of those soldiers laying on the ground. >> eyewitness peter henderson tells cnn, the shots sounded like they came from a high-powered rifle. other witnesses described the shooter as a man with dark hair and a scarf on his head, carrying a huge rifle. >> the man just came around the corner of the prime minister's office, put the gun in his shoulder and fired four shots into the back of this soldier. it was clearly a target. >> reporter: henderson says the soldier appears to have fallen backwards. strangers and message personnel rush in to try to save him, as the gunman runs away. but this is just the beginning. minutes later, a quarter mile away on parliament hill, this terrifying sound echoes through the chambers.
11:34 pm
[ multiple gun shots ] it's now about 10:00 a.m. witnesses report a gunman entered the main parliament building through an entrance meant for officials. he exchanges gunfire with security officers. [ gunfire ] >> i heard a rapid fire of what appeared to be about 20 shots or more. very loud. appeared to be fairly close. >> reporter: canada's prime minister is quickly escorted, along with some members of parliament to a safe location. but dozens remain inside on lockdown. they tweet to let others know they're safe. mp michelle rempel tweets, mom, i'm okay, i'm in hiding. and this tweet from senator jim munson reads in part, everyone's safe, but shaken. heard plenty of gunfire. mps say they could smell gun powder. by 10:30 a.m., a journalist
11:35 pm
tells reporters he saw a body slumped over. it will be hours, though, before we get official word that the gunman is dead. killed by sergeant at arms kevin vickers. four others reportedly injured in the attack, including a security guard at parliament, are taken to ottawa hospital. meanwhile, ottawa police still don't know how many suspects they are looking for. at 11:22 a.m., police tell cnn, there may have been two or three shooters at the war memorial. >> they do believe there's another gunman at large at this moment. he may be on the run. >> at 11:40 a.m., there's word of yet another shooting from police. this one, a seven-minute walk from parliament, near ottawa's mall. later that report is discounted. just before noon, the u.s. embassy in ottawa is locked down and president obama is briefed on the shooting. then, just after 1:00 p.m., this
11:36 pm
grim news. >> sad news, the canadian soldier who was shot at the war memorial in ottawa, has died. >> reporter: the soldier is identified as corporal nathan cirillo, a reservist from hamilton, ontario. late this afternoon, more bad news. ottawa's police spokesperson confirms to cnn, they are still looking for additional suspects. the last thing those in ottawa needed to hear after such a terrifying day. randi kaye, cnn, new york. >> and now we know there was one lone shooter. canadians are mourning their fallen shooter. a make shift memorial has popped up in his hometown of hamilton, ontario. his friends say they just cannot believe that he's gone. his fellow soldiers feel the same. >> corporal cirillo was a very proud member of the southern islanders of canada. our thoughts and players are with his family and we hope that
11:37 pm
canadians share that with us, and as well for the ongoing safety of our soldiers. the man being hailed as a hero in the shooting is a sergeant at arms. kevin vickers shot and killed the suspect. but who is he? vickers is close to the action, but usually not at the center. when world leaders come through, vickers is there to accompany them. it's largely a ceremonial post. but beyond the pomp and circumstances, vickers is a law man. his job is to keep order and run security that protects parliament. of course he made that point clear on wednesday when he shot the gunman inside the parliament building. as his brother explained to cnn, this was a first for him. >> in 28 years with the royal canadian mounted police, he had
11:38 pm
not, from what i understood, used his weapon in exchange of gunfire. and to think that as sergeant at arms for the nation, in parliament, of all places, to have to -- to be involved in something like that, as i say, is quite surreal. >> matthew miller is the parliamentary bureau chief for the vancouver observer. he was at the parliament building when the shootings took place. he posted this video, in fact. this went viral during the day. i spoke with him a short while ago, about what happened and what it means for canadians. >> sources inside the government have confirmed with me at this hour that the suspect's relations with a federal civil servant by the name of susan bibeau, who is the deputy director for the immigrant relations board -- sorry, immigrant and refugee board in canada, which is a board of appeal to deal with matters of
11:39 pm
immigration. it's alleged the suspect did have his passport revoked for reasons unknown. what i can also tell you at this hour, government lines involving the federal cabinet are not scheduled to meet tomorrow. so what i'm reporting at this time, those who are involved with the cabinet business of government are not meeting. we understand the host will be sitting, but cabinet meetings have been postponed at this point. >> okay, so new information to us anyway there. we appreciate that. one aspect of that all of this, as we've reacted from the outside and watched is that canada is not the type of place you expect to see something like this. a moment ago, you saw someone wave to us, canadians are known for the lack of crime, how clean many of the big cities are. you said in many ways canada lost its innocence with this incident today. expand on that. >> i stand by that statement. in a post 9/11 world where the
11:40 pm
security environment and global threat on terror changed within the last decade, canada remained somewhat naive. and i do feel that today is a slight loss of innocence on the privileges and freedoms, especially the openness that we have here in ottawa, with accessibility to parliament, with accessibility to visitors. we're going to see a very different parliament hill in the morning, as you can see behind me. already in the last hour, there have been several emergency vehicles continuing to head to parliament hill to set up security for the morning. so we're going to see a very different ottawa at sunrise. >> that was matthew miller, parliamentary bureau chief for the vancouver observer, speaking with me earlier. still to come, a jury convicts former black water contractors for mass shooting in baghdad. but for survivors, the pain lingers. d with terrible chest congestion. better take something.

welcome back. lawmakers in iraq's kurdistan region have voted to send peshmerga fighters to kobani via turkey. kobani remains under siege by isis militants as it has been for weeks. turkey recently said it would allow the peshmerga to cross its territory even though it regards them as terrorists. police in jerusalem say a 3-month-old girl was killed in an apparent terror attack.

11:45 pm
he was not yet 10. this man was studying to become a doctor. his life too tragically ended on that september day. these are some of the faces of the 17 iraqi victims of the shooting rampage in baghdad's square seven years ago. in an incident involving the u.s. security firm, known at the time as blackwater worldwide. the firm said the convoy it was protecting had come under attack in central baghdad square. something eyewitnesses interviewed by cnn at the time said wasn't true. the iraqi government called the shootings unprovoked and premeditated murder. the incident sparked a diplomatic crisis was a turning point in iraqi-american relations. it changes the terms on the ground for contractors who operate with no immunity. >> for some, the physical wounds
11:46 pm
may have healed, but the memorize still haunt. >> translator: no matter how you try to describe this, you can't do it justice. it killed 17 people in cold blood. families have lost a father, a son, a child. it's a tragedy i cannot describe. >> salman was driving to work when he got trapped in the traffic. when the shooting started, like many others, he tried to flee. he was shot three times. >> translator: it was horror. people were terrified. people running out of their cars were being shot at. anything that moved in the square was shot. women, children, young people. they shot at everyone. >> reporter: the defendants say they acted in self-defense. >> translator: i felt that there are people who care about this case. i felt the u.s. judiciary was interested, even if it's to show the media that america is just
11:47 pm
