there's breaking news that we have been falling. the fbi is now helping canadian authorities were on the scene of several shooting incidents. at the parliament building in ottawa. good afternoon. we welcome our viewers watching us around the country. our top story the parliament building in ottawa on lockdown this hour. falling at least two shooting incidents. president obama has been notified of the situation and the north american aerospace defense command has increased the number of planes prepared to respond.

witnesses say it started when a gunman shot and killed a soldier near a war memorial. the police chased the gunmen into the parliament building. dozens of shots were fired. reports say the gunman was killed. >> we were working on the statute. i heard a bunch of cops. i thought it was firecrackers. i look across the street and there was a man with a rifle shooting at a bunch of people. i yelled at all of my guys. i yelled get down get down. >> i took a look of her and realized what was going on. i took cover. >> police believe more gunmen are still at large. the canadian embassy has been shut down as a precaution. authorities say they cannot rule out terrorism. more details as they become available.

>> on the phone we have tom mockaitis. >> the fbi has been called in. what do you make of these early reports? they know it was one possibly more than one gunman involved. >> you need to be very cautious because when you have a fluid situation with an active shooter you're going to get multiple records. that can sometimes lead to an over reporting of a number of individuals involved. the fact that they're shutting down government buildings in the center of the capital of canada suggests more is going down. if they have confirmed a single shooter that they have killed it would be over. another thing i'm very surprised by is this norad warning.

this suggest to me that there is some kind of intelligence intercept. something a bit more is going on. some any of these things we do not yet now. the story will be on folding in the next several hours. >> we hear the fbi calling the field offices >> calling for attacks on military and law-enforcement mostly in the united states. >> that is the issue. that is what you call strategic warning. you know there's something going on. you do not have a specific target indication. we see that there is a clear indication that there will be a concerted attack. we've got specific warnings about the plan to attack a series of their plans about a decade ago where suddenly using water bottles with peroxide bombs. that is very specific. more often than not you get a

generic increase in chatter and activity. we think there is an increased likelihood and we're going to raise the other level. when you throw into the mix this particular attack than in fact you obviously have to ratchet up the things a little bit. >>are you surprised by the fact that if this does turn out to be terrorist related that it occurred in canada? >> i'm a bit surprised by that. on the other hand they are a close ally of the united states. ironically something we figured out a long time ago, you cannot defend canada without offending the united states.defending the united states. >>norad is north america. it suggests that this and maybe to help canada not cause.

the intelligence intercepted it may also have perhaps provided some type of indication that there is an airborne threat as well. we know the terrorists prefer to in fact attack multiple targets. with multiple means. we saw that in boston. we saw that on 9 11. is a consistent pattern. if this turns out to be a mixture of air ground etc. this is another level of sophistication we word about. what we're seeing is an emerging threat. it is not yet clear what is going on. we also have to push costs and be very cautious. the situation is fluid in ottawa. we do not have a complete picture yet. we do not want to jump to conclusions too quickly. your insight is so valuable. we will check back in with him.

you say there was frost, pumpkins. i thought it was pretty nice. look at this. here is one of our first weather pictures. this comes from muenster in the end up. there was a snow-covered terrain. areas of the interior of northern indiana and suburbs and on this. said the dog was a little befuddled by it. steve is befuddled by a lot of things. unfortunately not directing. we may fade to black here. that was the scene of snowflakes this weekend. from

washington park beach in michigan city. that susie photographed that. mary sent a beautiful shot. fall colors around the area. gorgeous shades of red. here's the shot from woodbridge. this is the naperville river walk. a beautiful

fall seen there. i think the fall colors are as beautiful as any we have seen in many areas across the area. >> a beautiful day. we have puffy fair weather clouds. nothing out of the order of the cloud cover we saw yesterday. another night of frost. see how clear it is? scattered clouds your just looking at. heavier clouds on the west end of a big storm on the east coast. here's what we did this morning. lookit the range of temperatures across the area. o'hare dropped to 41. these readings rank among october's eight scoreless mornings. as you move away from the city freeport dropped to 26. freezing temperatures at joliet kankakee and hebron. it was pretty chilly out there. at this hour we are warming up. we are already above

the 53 we saw yesterday. we bring that sunshine and it works magic on the atmosphere yesterday was eight degrees below normal. it was equivalent to what we normally see on november 6th. it is nice to see temperatures rebounding. there is warmer air to the west. this is oceanic air. coming across the country. it compresses and warrants. the first folks to see the warming. they will be slow to get here. by this weekend in may bring us '70s. for the moment it is 53 at all here. dew points have been in the '30's. they're expected to support frost. giving an idea where the wind regime under clear skies will go. you can see how like the wind is. they typically feed at night. there's no wind at all at this hour. the dew point

is 37. the barometer is way up there. tonight the headline is frost. possibly in land and away from the immediate city. the greatest risk runs from sections of lake county tonight. last word toward stocks valley. you folks here are the high temperatures today. tonight you'll see readings in the '40's along the lakefront. that is why the city is clear of a frost threat. as you get out here from west and cook county these readings may even be a little overdone. below that the thermometer sensors are up around 6 ft.. you can get a layer of colder air freezing below them. that is why we predict frosty even though freezing temperatures are not going to occur. look at the reading is now already up to 61. 55 and naperville. '50s and schaumburg and wheeling. all

recovering nicely from the morning cold temperatures. there is the view from scanner north. another view from deerfield. and from kenosha. over in michigan city you can see there's a freighter out there. when we lie in how to the city skyline. sunshine returns and along with a modest warm up. what has been happening is the storms in the gulf of alaska and pacific. see how the cloud elements move to an offer of the ocean. that is what the warmer air is all about. 75 in kansas. this is the warmer air that will filter and the next couple of days. right now between a storm of in the east. it is quite unfair. look at the rain fall on the radar. the way it is

going to a hammer areas from the mid- atlantic northward. some big amounts of rainfall. maybe up to 5 in. in parts of maine. the air that blows off of the top of the clouds sinks warms in our area in terms of sunny. by the weekend here is the jet stream pattern that will take the warm air off of the pacific and push it further east. which is why we are predicting a warm-up to indian summer levels. we could be talking this final full weekend of october. the final weekend of october about los 70 degree temperatures. that is pretty nice. first day of an extended warm up. a high of 59 today. northeast wind at 10. that is about a 63 increase.sixth degree increase.
