12:01 pm
let's get to it. >> first from the fox news deck, police in canada are set to hold a news conference half an hour on yesterday's deadly attack in ottawa. as we get word that canadian officials knew that the gunman was high risk and took away his passport. that's according to canada's ctv news. officials tell us the gunman was a recent con extort islam and was the only shooter involved. he gunned down a canadaian soldier and opened fire in the canadian parliament. the canadian prime minister, called it the country's second terror attack in the days. today he shooter's mother said she is crying for the victims but not shedding tears for her son he had a long rap sheet. the gunman spent a week and a half in a homeless shelter before the shootings happened. witnesses are giving us a better
12:02 pm
idea how i went down. the shooter raised his arms in triumph after killing the soldier at the war memorial, and then went into parliament. witnesses described scrambling down construction scaffolding to escape. others took cover inside as windows shatteredded from gunshots. the "ottawa citizen" "got recordings. >> call for shots fire. we may have multiple patients. one soldier has been hit. >> when it all ended, parliament's sergeant as arms shot the gunman dead. here you see the hero moments after the shooting, seeming perfectly calm to bystanders. his gun still in hand. today, members of parliament welcome that sergeant at arms with an emotional standing ovation as he came into the chambers there. more on that in just a moment. first live to ottawa, david lee
12:03 pm
miller. the prime minister trying to heal the country today, it seems. >> that's right. that is going to be a very difficult job, especially in light of this most recent news. this is a country very much on edge. ottawa most especially, and the police here saying that there is a suspicious incident takes place now in the northwest section of ottawa. they're telling residents to avoid the area near the airport. we don't have a great deal more information. there may be nothing to this but just underscores how uneasy people are here today. today prime minister harper laid a wreath at the war memorial where the soldier was killed. and a man went beyond the police tape. he was arrested. police had their guns drawnment they were shouting. the man was forced to the ground. the prime minister, only yards away. this, again, the very same prime
12:04 pm
minister who, during yesterday's rampage at parliament, had to be escorted by the building from his security detail. later the prime minister talked before parliament about the country's resolve to keep canada safe. >> even as the brave men and women of our armed forces are taking the fight to the terrorists on their own territory, we are equally resolved to fight it here. we live in danger, yes, but the mission of our country and the work of this parliament goes on, and so does the work throughout this city. >> the soldier who was killed has been identified as 24-year-old corporal nathan cirillo. and moments ago his relatives, cousin, told canadian media that the gunman shot him at close range in the back. this is the gun that cirillo had. he wad an honor guard, was not loaded. he was there for ceremonial
12:05 pm
purposes. today he is mourned by the entire country. >> david lee, what more have you learn about the shooter? >> well, police a few hours ago said that he did in fact act alone. there were no other armed gunmen. still not entirely clear, though, is whether or not there may have been some other accomplices, did he receive other help? there's a report today saying that the gunman was in contact with a jihaddist who was charged this summer by canadian officials with going to syria to join a terror group. just a short time ago the gunman's own parents issued a statement saying, and i quote, we have no explanation to offer. i am mad at our son. i don't understand. and part of me wants to hate him at this time. again, we expect to learn more information about the gunman. police scheduled to hold a news conference at 3:30 local time. >> we'll have live coverage
12:06 pm
here. traditionally the sergeant at arms asia mostly ceremonial role, but as we reported here earlier government officials in canada say kevin vickers jumped into action yesterday as the gunman closed in on lawmakers. the 58-year-old spent almost three decades in the royal canadian mounted police and has been sergeant at arms of the parliament since 2006. today the people he protected welcomed him as a hero. [applause] >> it started as sergeant as arms kevin vickers led leaders through the halls of parliament. [applause] >> it only grew louder as he entered the house of commons. the applause of a grateful nation, coming from the lawmakers for whom he had risked his life. it went on like that for several
12:07 pm
minutes. vickers, settling back into this traditional role while appearing to choke back tears. [applause] just 24 hours earlier, a much different noise echoed through the halls. [ gunshots ] >> the whole thing was maybe a couple of minutes. just amazing, the blur of it all. >> the reporter who shot this video described how security forces brought down the gunman, as he ran by vickers' office just feet from roms in the the lawmakers were meeting. >> people identified him as the one who brought down the shooter. i was there, quite a was back. i couldn't see who brought him down. i saw a lot of people firing to pick out which gun and which bullet proved fatal, i wasn't able to do that but people are crediting him with bringing down
12:08 pm
the shooter. >> among those people, the leaders of this chamber. >> kevin, without your courage, a terrible situation could have become much worse. we are in your debt. canadaans are proud of you and they thank you. [applause] >> they also acknowledged the other security forces that played a role. recounting how a member of vickers' team barricaded their door, telling others to get down while the guard remained standing. >> we don't know the names of all the heroes from yesterday but we all saw heroes in this place yesterday. >> jess tours that today allow canada to get on with its business. >> we will be village habits but not run scared, and we'll be prudent but not panic, and as for the business of the government, here we are in our seat, in our chamber in the very
12:09 pm
heart of our democracy. [applause] >> vigilant but not scared. we'll be prudent but we will not panic. and he said our work goes on here. the prime minister of canada, stephen harper. so does the work for the sergeant -- at-arms. he has not spoken publicly about what happened. let's bring in a parliament member who was there. that sentence was -- has been repeated on american television and i'm sure around the world over and over again, the prime minister of canada talking about vigilance and prudence but not panic, and i wonder what your thoughts are as your motiving into new territory there. >> i thought he enkansas lated the mood and the feeling perfectly. we were in solidarity with each other, shoulder-to-shoulder,
12:10 pm
intentionally back to the business of the day. to show that terror and terrorism doesn't work in this country. >> you have a lot of work to do now, and party politics will get in the middle of it. that's democracies work but you have to make some decision skis wonder if the line that separates freedom and security has moved at all, and if so, how, and where you want to keep it. >> a a tough question to which i don't have an answer. the security at parliament buildings, a rewove -- review should be start by tomorrow because there were breaches and the breaches need to be addressed. and then you have to address the issue, there are other things we should be doing? and possibly there are other things we should be doing.
12:11 pm
but that does entail the delicate balance. this is the house of parliament. this is the people's institution. it has enjoyed a relatively accessible, secure environment for many years. there's good access between citizens and legislators, and i would hate to see that access diminish in any way, because if you do diminish it, then so also will our democracy be diminished. >> a debate, which obviously you know, happened in this country when i was young journalist you could walk down in front of the white house. you can't do that anymore. i know there's a lot ahead, but do you sense yet or anticipate a push from any or a group within canada to say, let's get out of this business of attacking isis and leave this to others, or, as the prime minister said today, will just strengthen the resolve? >> i think you have to resist
12:12 pm
all of the knee-jerk reactions. i have a bias -- as the old lawyer in me, i much prefer to get my facts in front of my conclusions, so i hope that over the next few days we do arrive at some facts as to how this happened. we do rave -- arrive at facts how there was a security breach, and i think in the larger issue, which you're addressing, does this change our approach to isis and other entities? i think that's way too premature say because it's as plausible -- i'm not floating this as a theory -- but this person was just storm form of mental illness and was attracted to some bizarre form of muslim ideology, and so it's a one-off
12:13 pm
incident. that has to be -- that theory has to be exhausted before you change anything else with respect to our approach to foreign affairs, et cetera. >> we yack a little more down here south of the border and we sometimes do a little more loudly. i say that not as an excuse but just as a point of fact. and part of the yacking today, got to close that border. they're not tough enough in canada on the terrorists and we got to close this 5500-mile border, and that sort of thing in america today you might say what? >> i probably shouldn't say it on public television. >> you can. it's just cable. >> canada is a very secure country. our mutual interest is in having a secure border, a well-managed border, bored -- border where there is a free exchange of citizens.
12:14 pm
we do have glitches from time to time regarding trade than anything else. so, i just want to point out to those who think that this is a canadian phenomenon that pretty well automatic of the attacks that have been happening in america have nothing to do with canada. >> a member of parliament, john mckay. all the best to all of you from your friend down here. >> appreciate the call. >> going after a terrorist group. a u.s. pilot targets islamic state from the skies. investigators are trying to hit them in their bank account. analysts say the terrorists pull in millions of dollars from illegal operations. how to get after it, that's next. s charlie.
12:16 pm
12:17 pm
>> as the united states and our allies bomb islamic state military targeted the treasury department is leading the charge to cut off the terrorist army cash flow. the undersecretary, known as the financial batman. that's real. he says that the feds are working behind the scenes to disrupt their black market oil sales. u.s. officials say the sales have helped make isis the riches terror group in history. they say they rake in millions of dollars a day smuggling ol' into during turcey -- turkey and then selling it. the state department's strategy is going after the people who buy the oil. jennifer, what else are we
12:18 pm
learning? >> u.s. officials estimate that isis made $20 million alone from the ransoms played by european countries to free western hostages this year, and then there are the black market oil sales. what is surprising w.h.o. is buying the oil. some are u.s. allies. the undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, david cohen, the batman you spoke about, spoke about it this morning. >> also appears some of the oil emanating from territories where isil operates has been sold to kurds in iraq and then resold into turkie, and in a furtherration of the assad regime's deprave, the syrian government has made an arrangement to purchase oil from isil. >> in september the u.s. dressry department announced sanctions against 11 individuals and one knopp government charity for helping provide weapons, fighters and money to isis. >> the military is in on this
12:19 pm
attack on the finances as well. right? >> that's right in addition to the treasury sanks, david cohen said they're seeing some signs the u.s. military's airstrikes against isis-held oil refineries in syria, strikes look this one on september 24th in eastern syria, they are making a difference. at the time the pentagon said that they were leaving the refineries in tact so they would be workable in the future. the strikes were designed to push isis away from the facilities, but with no allied ground forces on the ground, working with the u.s. coalition, it is easy for isis to return and take control of these refineries that are bringing in a million dollars plus per week. so, in september they were targeting these oil revenues as a mean of drying up isis funds. >> thank you. religious minorities under attack again today in iraq. word that islamic state fighters

12:25 pm
but it's really been trading in range of 100 points. the last 24 days, consecutive 24 days, the dow has moved 100 points one way or the other. >> that's it -- you mean more than 100 points every single trading day? >> yes. >> oh, wow. >> because people don't know what to trade on. you saw what happened in ottawa, we were down, today, trading higher. so not sure what we want to hook into, what's the big story. it was a federal reserve and their policy. now we're just -- whatever happens, we're trading on the headlines. >> traders making money. >> that's right, we are, too. that's the good news. >> i'll open it at some opinion. >> okay. >> there are plenty of reasonable excuses for taking a sick day from work. perhaps -- well-perhaps you're sick, perhaps you have flu, maybe there's an ole miss game. some accuses will not fy, and a
12:26 pm
career web site put together the most outrageous excuses heard from bosses. i decide not read this list in advance. >> the survey had interesting stacks. a quarter of bosses taught caught their employees facing sick on their social media. so they said they were sick and then posted. a fifth of bosses fire an employee for faking it. but 28% of the employees called in sick when they were actually feeling fine. some of the common reasons were they don't feel like working, they want to relax, had doctor's appointment, or even bad weather caused people to call in sick. the most ridiculous excuses, people actually use these -- they just put a caster in the oven, someone said they were -- had surgery.
12:27 pm

some guy jumped over the white house fence last night and now we know he apparently has a rates of arrests near the executive mansion. that's according to court records which indicate the police arrested the suspect twice in the month of july, once at the white house and again at the u.s. treasury. last night officials say the guy made it over the fence, then kicked and punched two secret service dogs. look at that. he faces felony charges for the assault on a law enforcement officer. that barks. and for making threats. the secret service reports he was not armed and agents quickly
12:34 pm
caught him. a secret service spokesman says the dogs were slightly hurt they went to the vet and they're back on duty today. the incident comes after another man jumped the fence and was able to make it inside the white house. thankfully this one wasn't. that incident and other embar rationing breaches cost the secret service director her job. the white house says it's deeply concerned the islamic state has reportedly launched an offense against the yazidi, a religious minority. the reuters news agency reports militants have been attacking yazidi villages in iraq, forcing refugees up the same mountain they were stranded of the summer. united nations officials say isis slaughtered hundreds, and rounded up young girls and took them as sex slaves. president obama delivered aid
12:35 pm
previously and ordered some of the first airstrikes against isis in iraq. one yazidi woman has begged for the west to bomb the brothel where she and others are being kept as sex slaves. she said, and i quote here, i've been raped 30 times, and it's not even lunchtime. greg palkot is live near the border with syria in turkey. greg? >> shep, absolutely. follow closely the isis movements and actions and savagery in and around kobani, isis is on the move elsewhere, not just in syria but a in iraq and northwestern iraq. the yazidi ethnic minority group so galvanized the world and the united states in the summer, again is being threatened, and their struggle is getting the attention of a lot of activists here. the report we are getting is
12:36 pm
that, starting about monday, the isis group in that area started to make a move on the yazidis. some had fled. most have fled, as we have been reporting, back in auction but some remained at the bottom, the base of the mound sinjar. they're now landed up the mountain now and are saying, why are you second ten, 20, 30, 40, bombing runs against isis in kobani, just in one week, and you're not sending anything to us again? and in fact, isis is moving into other areas, northern iraq, where they were driven out of when the u.s. was busy there over the summer. meanwhile, in kobani, yes, we were watching today, and again, the u.s. striking very heavily against the isis group here. we witnessed at least half dozen strikes, some in the distance beyond the town, some right in the center of town, as the united states tries to halt again get a new offensive by the
12:37 pm
isis group. they seem to be moving with a greater urgency, a greater determination now, trying to cease the time, trying to finish up here before, it is thought, more reinforcements could be coming in from the kurdish forces. >> american ambassador, nicholas burns is a former undersecretary of state at the state depth, now a professor of practice of diplomacy and international politics at harvard. professor, this new move on the yazidis, how concerning is this and what do you do? >> well, shep, further evidence of the evil and despicable nature of isis and all the more reason the united states should be leading this effort, at least through the air, to attack them and to try to help safeguard the civilians in harm's way, the problem we have is airstrikes are limited in what they can do. what you really need or adequate ground forces. the ground forces are the iraqi
12:38 pm
army. in some cases the peshmerga but not in the mt. sinjar reason. so that's the weak link in the western strategy. building up effective, capable, aggressive ground forces that can take isis on, and really protect civilians on the ground, is the next order of business for the obama administration, and for this wider coalition of countries, arab and european, supporting the united states. >> military leaders note -- they put it simply, we're losing this battle at the moment, and to yos to keep these air strikes going in an effort to hold as much as you can until ground forces are built up, and do you see a tike time there might be a buildup of ground forces? >> i think that president obama has been right to say -- he has said it several times -- we're going to see a back and forth quality to the fighting on the ground. we simply don't have the military resources in country to effectively destroy isis, and that was -- and defeat them.
12:39 pm
that was language the administration used earlier. what we have in reality is a contain policy. and we won attend them in mt. sinjar in august, near mussal dam but have not been able to contain them completely. and the american people have to be more realistic what we can do. the united states has to consider do we put more ground troops, more troops into iraq, to help this fight. the president has been reduck tenant to do that. we have several thousand troops in country but don't have anywhere near what we had before and it's doubtful that congress or the public would want to support major expansion of the american presence. i think it's doubtful that president obama would, given his very consistent record since he became record on this issue. >> nice to see you. figure at some point they have to either -- like the last
12:40 pm
administration, kept changing the goals and what our even goal would be in iraq. you think this time they have to tell us if our goal is to degrade and destroy, we're not going to about it in a way to do that. what we're doing is an attempt to contain. you figure at some point they'v got to either admit that and be straight with souse we can deal with it, or change the strategy. this fibbing about it, doesn't work. there's word that cops are trying to retrace the steps of the suspected serial killer in indiana after he said he likes to check on the victims' bodies after he hides them. think of that. this man is accused of killing woman after woman, person after person, hiding their bodies in dilapidated buildings, then going back to check on the corpses. think there's some cell phone data on that? stand by. nineteen years ago, we thought, "wow, how is there no way to tell the good from the bad?"
