mr. duncan's treatment. >> mr. obama saying he is optimistic that health officials will stop ebola from spreading inside the u.s. >> certainly seems like the survivability rate is a lot higher in this country than it is in west africa. what's left of a nor'easter making its way off new england's coast. >> we are joined by our meteorologist, good morning. >> good morning to you both. some people don't think it's over. it's not bad in the city, but boston has been miserable. take a look at video. you can see the waves 15-20 feet crashing into the coast. the winds have been up 40 miles an hour. many have lost power. over 20,000 people in parts of massachusetts have lost power. it's not coming back anytime soon. look at the rain coming into play, northeastern massachusetts under a flash flood warning. look at the reports of damage. yellow dots are wind damage across the region. we don't expect this to end soon. the warnings are still out. most of coastal maine is looking at flooding this morning across the region. these are the winds now. they will die down soon. we still have major problems, boston airport, the delays are going to begin. >> i already had a down payment on a generator this season. >> good idea. >> we are following the latest in the capitol in canada. >> how well security change and what will officials look for after two attacks in just three days? our security expert joins us next. >> protests heating up in ferguson as new details leak about a grand jury investigation into the shooting death of a teenager at the hands of police. >> the university of north carolina accused of steering athletes into no show classes. le fallout on the field. >> the big number of the day. >> more drivers are warned they need to get their airbags replaced. >> canadian officials are considering whether to heighten security at all military bases following yesterday's parliament attack. >> the attack cups days after another soldier was killed near montreal. both men were targeted by men recently converted to is slam, both suspected of having ties to militant groups overseas. military members are asked not to wear uniforms off base unless necessary. >> let's bring in jim walsh, an expert on international security. good morning. canada is part of the u.s.-led coalition against isil which some assume is motivating these attacks. is it too soon to draw that conclusion? >> i think that's an excellent question. i wish more were asking it, because i think it is too early. it's clear the reporting is that he converted to islam, but is this a troubled individual who happened to choose islam rather than white supremacy or others in order to act out on violence? we don't know the answer to that question. there are going to be changes in the short term. i think we need more facts before the canadian government starts to implement major policy changes. some of the unanswered questions, why was his passport pulled? how many passports have been pulled, a couple dozen or a couple thousand? what's the nature of the relationship he has with that ideology or others overseas. we need answers before we make changes. >> folks have been painting to the fact that the suspect in monday's killing of a canadian soldier had also converted to is slam. should that be a focus or is that a red herring in some ways when you're looking at these potential lone wolves. >> two events when they never happened at all in canada make some feel something's going on. my question is what is the nature of this particular assailant. i don't know, but the look and feel of this is not someone who was a trained operative who's serious. this was a criminal in the past who sort of drifted to things. it may be connected in a way that is almost tragic, that is to say perhaps the assailant yesterday saw the news on t.v. of someone else running over and killing a soldier and maybe that was the very trigger that motivated him. i think there are more theories than facts right now and we need to collect those facts. >> you bring up the theory which is the possibility this was a copy cat attack. are there lessons that the u.s. should be taking from this incident in canada? >> i think there are some lessons. one has today with how we treat these incidents. i've been through 9/11, i've been through the boston bombing. in every case when something happens, public officials and the news media often make errors in their reporting in the early days. we're all human. that's going to happen. it tells us if we keep doing it over and over again, we should probably pause anding prudent and cautious. yesterday, the reporting was that there was an attack at a mall. that turned out to be false. the initial report said there were multiple gunman involved. that doesn't seem to be the case. this is not the last time this is going to happen. sadly, this is going to happen again, where someone buys a gun, goes out, mental health issues or not and commits a crime. we've seen it in the u.s. with a shooting in fort hood and in other instances. this is going to happen every once in a while, but i think we need to do a better job of approaching these, because we know they are going to happen. >> fair enough. jim walsh, thank you. >> stay with us. in our next half hour, we'll speak a parliament member who was locked down inside the building during the shooting. >> silence in court for a suspected indiana serial killer. darren vann told authorities he killed seven women. the 43-year-old was upset at all of the media inside the courtroom. >> new tensions on the streets of ferguson overnight, this as new details emerge on the killings of michael brown. leaked documents allege he attacked officer wilson before he was shot. they fought for control of the officer's gun, backing up wilson's claims that there was a violent struggle leading to the shooting. witnesses say the teen had his hands in the air and was telling the officer "don't shoot." >> new fuel in the pro democracy demonstrations in hong kong, protestors on the streets right now are angry, upset over the chief executive statements that free elections would give the poor too much power. demonstrators want the right to choose their own candidates. >> today's big number is the number of cars now impacted by a major air bag recall. >> more than 1.7 million vehicles have now been added to the list, 28% from earlier this week. all of those cars have airbags that were made by the same corporation. they could spray shrapnel and hurt the drivers and passengers, as well. >> florida is getting around rain after flooding earlier this week. >> for more, we turn to our meteorologist again. >> i feel like the bearer of bad news. i will bring better weather later in the show. >> if you are planning to go to florida to the keys, it is still rainy. we're getting a lot of flow from the south, moisture in from the tropics. i told you yesterday about a little tropical wave we were watching over the yucatan. that's no longer an issue, but heavy rain showers are going to be a problem here. if you are traveling, miami is going to see delays, key west seeing problems for the next few days. >> wanda is not known for gun violence. >> canadians have been fighting for the right to own weapons for years. why guns are treated differently there. >> an update on the ground in ottawa as parliament gets back to business. >> guilty verdicts handed down against four black water security guards who killed civilians working in iraq in 2007. we'll talk to a former military contractor about that verdict. >> back with his family, jeff fowles, first night at home after being released from a korean prison. >> these are live pictures from the continuing protests in hong kong. you can see security officers on one side of a barricade made with cardboard boxes and remaining protestors there in hong kong. it is 7:30 p.m. there. >> u.s. and canadian officials are searching for a motive for a began man shooting and killing a soldier at the national war memorial. these are believed to be the first image of the shooter getting into a car after he killed that soldier. >> he later opened fire inside the parliament building before gunned down himself. he had a criminal history and recently converted to islam. it was the second attack on a canadian soldier this week. monday a soldier was killed in a hit-and-run attack by a recent muslim convert. >> do canadian officials believe these attacks are connected to the canadian effort with the u.s. led effort in syria and iraq? >> nobody is openly linking this attack. steven harper, the canadian prime minister in his nationwide television address last night referred to an attack on two canadian soldiers outside montreal in which they were run over by a vehicle deliberately and one died. he called that an isis inspired attack. canada joined the fight against isil on september 7 and as a result of that, the terror threat level here has been elevated. steven harper said in that address last night that all of this only strengthens the resolve of the country not to be cowed by this kind of incident. >> isil releasing a video saying there should be coordinated attacks on soldiers, using knives, sticks and guns. we are learning that officials are taking extra precautions to protect soldiers there. tell us about it. >> an email has been sent to student soldiers telling them they should not wear their uniforms at all for the time being and serving soldiers have been told they should not wear their uniforms anywhere other than than on base or in their cars. if they get out of their cars to get gas, they should not have their uniforms on or not wear them walking around a city. that's two examples of what they are doing to protect their soldiers. all military basis are an high alert, if not breakdown. the parliament here is going to get underway at 10:00 this morning, as a sign of defiance. that we knew. what we've just learned is that m.p.'s will gather at the site of the national war memorial outside the parliamentary complex and pay respects to the young man who was shot yesterday, a reservist soldier who was only volunteering to do this duty for a month and only just completed his first week. they'll pay their respects to him and then steven harper, the prime minister will address the house of commons shortly after that. >> live for us in ottawa, thank you very much. they say it is the equivalent as somebody opening fire of the tomb of the unknowns and making its way into the u.s. capitol. >> it's reported that the soldier was an honorary guard so did not have a loaded weapon with him when he was killed. canada is having a conversation about gun control this morning. they are not known for having a history of gun violence despite a very high rate of gun ownership. >> we took a closer look at the tension between lawmakers and gun owners there. >> the royal canadian mounted police say 1.96 million people hold legal firearms licenses and put the gun total nationwide at just under 10 million. with each canadian gun owner averaging four firearms each. >> it's a passion. those of us in it are passionate about it. >> this scoff at those numbers, saying there could be twice as many guns. >> there are tens of millions of firearms in canada that will never be registered. >> an expensive federal effort to register long guns in the country, rifles was ban donald. c.g.i., the company hired to develop and run a system was the same firm that handled the healthcare.gov roll out in the u.s. rolling back the registry was a victory for canadian gun rights activists, a defeat for gun control groups. >> we have no way to trace long guns and unrestricted fair arms in canada now. all the data we had has been destroyed outside of quebec and that's very disturbing to me. >> guns fall into three classes, non-restricted, the long guns for hunting and sports shooting, restricted, handguns and semiautomatic weapons and prohibited, the short barrel's handguns and fully automatic guns. >> these three here are all prohibited, and the rest of them are all simply restricted. a special license required, cannot get that license anymore. you had to own these guns when the law was passed. >> the types of guns used in some of canada's worst mass shootings in montreal, 25 years ago and more recently in 2006, are still legal to own, like semiautomatic rifles, popular among target shooters and hunters. if you want to own a gun in canada, you have to first go through a training course in safety, 12 hours' worth, but at no point will you actually load and fire an operating gun. >> for safety, dummy ammunition is used and the guns won't shoot. then the law requires trigger locks and an opaque container placed out of sight in a vehicle. there's a separate license for transportation and you need a license to buy ammunition. gun homicide totals here have remained stable for the last 15 years at 178 a year as population gross. by comparison, the annual u.s. gun homicide average is about 11,500, nearly eight times the canadian rate, based on that population. in a canadian charter of rights and freedoms, guns are never mentioned, leading some to call gun ownership an earned privilege, not a specifically guaranteed right. >> canadian parliament member john mccoy was just arriving at the parliament building when the shots went off. he joins us from ottawa. i can annual imagine what you and your colleagues have been through. thanks for being with us. when you woke up this morning, what was seared in your mind about the shooting and chaos that ensued? >> that's a good question and my thought frankly was ok, we're going to go back to business. it's not going to be business at usual and the real question is what is not as usual going to mean. what i fear in our reaction and possibly some might say over reaction is we lose what is most precious to us, our democracy. i think when you set up barriers between citizens and legislatures and legislators and citizens, you actually diminish your democracy. if you diminish your democracy, then that is a far more profound consequence of yesterday, and i'd be very saddened by that. >> yet you said in an interview yesterday at the scene that this "changes everything." what did you mean? >> well, i must admit i made that shortly after just coming out of the building, and it does change everything. the changes will be subtle and the changes will be significant. i think i just alluded to one of the changes, wimp is how it may affect our democracy, but it also may affect our approaches to foreign affairs and to a whole variety of other issues that is pretty difficult to contemplate. we live in a society, i come from toronto, which is probably one of if not the most multi-cultural multi-religious society in the world and we do pretty well. it's a pretty prosperous and vibrant community and country. i hope we don't go down that rabbit hole of being afraid of the other or afraid of our neighbor. that will be one of the changes that i hope doesn't happen. >> you were a very sober voice in all of this this morning, despite the fact that you were sort of in the middle of it all at some point yesterday. you and you're colleagues will be meeting this morning at the war memorial which is where that soldier was killed. what do you think the atmosphere will be like? >> i just walked past it. it is stale crime scene, so we will be slightly removed from the actual war memorial. i think if my past experience at being at these kind of events is any guide, at that point it will just hit me in the guts that a young man died, you know, really a person dedicated to our protection and he paid for it with his life. in some manner or another, that hits you like nothing else hits you. >> when you walk into the halls of parliament this morning, do you think that that terror from yesterday will linger? >> absolutely. i walk those halls every day. i know exactly where all the shooting took place. there but for the grace are god were i. i can't imagine how i or any of my colleagues will be walking any of those halls without images, without feelings, without scars, without profound concern, and the resolve that our response will be measured, will be appropriate and it will be firm. >> our thoughts this morning on the soldier that did lose his life yesterday. canadian parliament member john kay, sir, thank you so much for your time. >> turning to other news now, in houston, two are dead after an apparent murder-suicide at a hospital. a man shot and killed a female coworker and then turned the gun on himself, both dying at the scene. detectives believe the man made romantic advances towards the woman. the investigation is ongoing. >> in yemen, rising violence as the country awaits a new government. 16 people were killed in fighting wednesday. al-qaeda has claimed responsibility for the attack. this comes one day after a deadline to form a new government expired. >> lawyers for four black water security guards vow to fight the convictions against them. all were found guilty wednesday for the 2007 deaths of more than 14 unarmed iraq civilians. the case was first thrown out in 2008, but a federal jury returned that verdict yesterday in washington, d.c. outrage over the killings led to calls for u.s. troops to get out of iraq. >> our next guest joins us from washington, d.c. thanks for being with us this morning. your thoughts on the verdict. >> i was not surprised by the verdict. there's a lot of question marks about some of the evidence proposed at the trial, but at the end of the day, americans don't like to see actors, contractors under the u.s. flag commit war crimes and certainly killing 14 iraq civilians is a war crime. >> men like yourself are described as willing to do the jobs that no one else wants. do you feel that this will have a chilling effect on other mercenaries? >> i wouldn't describe it as a mercenary. i think it will give pause to those in the u.s. who work in these companies. remember a lot of these companies, most of the personnel of not just american, they come from all over the world, from the philippines, from you name it. i do think that this industry has grown since iraq. it's now being hired by multi-national corporations. you see these companies emerging in russia. i don't think this verdict will have much impact there. >> do you believe that these guards were used to be made an example of? >> that's a great question. i think that you could look at this as having motivations. certainly black water has become emblematic of what went wrong in iraq for americans. that's a big concern. the bigger question is as long as the u.s. is going to engage in long, prolonged conflict overseas, they're going to have shortages of man power and there's two choices, either to hire companies like black water, or to have a national draft that they did in vietnam. the truth is that in iraq, half of the u.s. workforce was contracted as opposed to 10% in world war ii -- go ahead, please. >> on that subject, do you think this verdict is going to redefine the rules for military contractors and do you believe that that's what the government really wants? >> i think it will have a chilling effect on contractors who work for the u.s. government in places like iraq. while redefine the rules. i don't see any rules being redefined quite yet, but it will certainly impact how these companies conduct their business in places like iraq. it will be wonderful to see training and vetting standards across the board being leveed by the department of defense for this industry. that would needle to happen. if this verdict could compel that, that would be, i think a good thing. >> thank you very much. >> in our next hour, we'll talk to the family of a victim to see how this case has changed the dynamics for american contractors who are working in iraq. >> an ohio man is finally home after spending nearly six months in custody in north korea. jeffrey fowle returning to the u.s. wednesday was embraced by family as he stepped off the plane. he thanked all those who helped secure his relevancy, including the state department and embassy of sweden. >> jeff would like you to know that he was treated well by the government of the dprk and that he's currently in good health. the past 24 hours have been a whirl wind for jeff and his family. jeff needs some time right now to get adjusted to his life at home. >> matthew mill are and kenneth by, two americans are still held in north korea. for family members of those two other americans still imprisoned, fowle's release is a bitter incident. >> the agony, the day to day of not knowing. we have to keep fighting, because we have to keep fighting until he comes home. >> bay was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor. he was charged with trying to overthrow the north korean government. his friends and family say he was there as a tourist. >> stephanie, still a lot of unanswered questions about the gunman who stormed canada's parliament building. >> he recently converted to islam and had his passport confiscated. we'll talk about the clues that will help police better understand his motive. >> a damning report about the university of north carolina at chapel hill, accused of giving thousands of student athletes passing grades in classes they didn't have to go to. seven people with conspiring with al qaeda. >> since 9/11 the us has spent has spent billions of dollars on domestic counter-terrorism operations. >> i wanted to be in on the big game and to be paid top-dollar for it. that's it. >> many of these involved targeted informant led stings. >> to them, everyone in the muslim community is a potential informant or a potential terrorist. ve. >> you're looking live at the turkey-as her i didn't know border where fighting continues for control of kobane. >> canada is trying to come to grips with the shooting in its capitol. security measures will increased and the nation not intimidated. wednesday at 9:52, ottawa police said shots had been fired and a ceremonial guard hit. two minutes later, multiple shots at parliament hill. by 10:00 a.m., tactile teams arrived, a shooter is seen running with a rifle. parliament is locked down, government officials moved to safe and secure locations. a gunman is seen in a car. before noon, ottawa police report there are multiple shootings in the area, authorities shoot a suspect. shortly after, the u.s. embassy goes into lockdown. the u.s. does not raise its terror threat level. two days ago, canada did from low to medium after soldiers were attacked by radicals. at 1:45, the guard first shot was announced to be dead. they confirm a male suspect is dead. officials warn it is too early to know the motivation of the crime, but a full investigation has begun. canada's prime minister said simply it was a despicable attack. >> mary ellen o'toole is a former senior f.b.i. profiler, now a behavioral consultant and joins us this morning. miss o'toole, thanks for being with us. canadian authorities releasing the name of the shooter. how quickly can a profile of this man be put together? >> actually a profile is not put together. what we do instead is a personality assessment on the individual, because we know who he is, we can go back and look at his history from the time he was a small child up until yesterday, when he carried out this crime. that's important, because there would have been behavior that preexisted this crime that contributed to his motivation, because there are always multiple motivation for a crime like this. >> is there a behavior model that can be put together that authorities can be on the lookout for when it comes to all of these so-called lone wolf attacks. >> no, you can't put people in boxes. there are behaviors, that may be anywaysed by parents or others. there could be a direct comment or more indirect, but that's one of the more powerful prewarning behaviors that we know about. >> what do these killers want? how do they get their jollies and when it comes to the public reaction, how should the public react to take away that reward that they are looking for. >> they are motivated by a number of interests or motivations, reasons that they do it. recently over the last couple of years, many shooters who appear to be mission oriented where there's planning involved and in this instance, there appears to be planning, they want notoriety and fame. this individual was on the international stage for pretty much all day yesterday, and other people that are already contemplating acting out in a similar way will look at that and say i want that, too. but the general public, it's difficult for us to look at that and not be aghast and filled with fear. our reaction is probably going to continue as these crimes continue, but we have to know it's hard to really comprehend that many of these shooters in part are motivated by the desire to be famous. >> let's talk about terror for a second, parliament going to reopen this morning at 10:00. they're going to hold a small ceremony there. are they taking away the thunder that so many believe they would achieve by terrorizing the western world? >> i think so and i think because of that, it's really important to be able to show that. many of us who work in this area have talked about that through the media or other channels that we don't even name the person. we call him the killer, the shooter. we try to minimize his identity and the attention he gets. you cannot minimize the act. that has to be reported on, but we try not to use his name. >> thank you very much. >> stay with us. we'll go live back to ottawa for the latest on the shootings. >> california is ending a controversial segregation policy in its prisons. guards often separated black inmates, putting them in lockdown after riots even if they weren't involved. the decision comes after the justice department found the practice violated their rights. now officers can only lock up inmates that were involved in the altercation. >> academic fraud rocking the university of north carolina. the tar hill's famous athletic program is involved. >> players took no-show classes that made them academically available to play. we have more. >> after years of allegations that the school made use of g.p.a. booster classes, former federal prosecutor was brought in to investigate. the report was reds wednesday. in it, he detailed a 20 year scheme of what he referred to as paper classes designed specifically to help student athletes make the grade so they could play. while coaches like roy williams knew of the paper classes, they didn't know just how undemanding these classes were. in some cases, the classes didn't meet at all. students were given automatic a's or b's. these required a paper at the end of the semester. >> the investigation shows us that bad actions of a very few and inaction of many more failed our students and our faculty and our staff, and undermind our institution. it was an inexcusable betrayal of our values and our mission, and our students' trust. >> the chancellor went on to say nine university employees have been terminated as a result of the investigation. we'll have more on this story in our next hour. >> thank you. >> the world series all tied up, one game apiece, the kansas city royals beating the san francisco giants 7-2, scoring five runs in the sixth inning capped off by omar infante's two-run homer, it was the royals first world series win in nearly 30 years. the series now goes to san francisco. >> let's get another check of your forecast with our meteorologist. >> if you're missing summer, temperatures are rising across the plains. we're looking at temperatures going well above average. today, omaha city 80 degrees. the next couple days, look at how they are going up. we're going to be seeing temperatures between 10 and 15 degrees above average. oklahoma city by saturday, 90, air conditioners are coming back on. we're going to see well above average temperatures through the weekend. >> that's just weird. ok. thank you. >> an ironic twist for r.j. reynolds, the nation's biggest tobacco company said employees can no longer smoke at work. the company will build indoor smoking areas. they make camel cigarettes and our brands. >> outrage in ferguson. >> this time over michael brown's leaked autopsy report. a local city leader said she's disgusted that the results were leaked. >> we'll have the latest on the attack in ottawa. we are back in two minutes with more. >> pain killer addiction on the rise >> i loved the feeling of not being in pain >> deadly consequences >> the person i married was gone >> are we prescribing an epidemic? >> the last thing drug companies wanted anybody to think was that, this was a prescribing problem >> fault lines, al jazeera america's hard hitting... >> today they will be

unconventional... >> if i can drink this... i don't see why you should be able to smoke that... >> unscripted... >> we gonna do this? >> ...and uncensored... >> are you kidding me? >> america votes 2014 midterms the series continues only on al jazeera america >> a fraud spanning 20 years to keep players in the game welcome to al jazeera america. >> u.s. and officials in canada searching for answers behind a deadly ottawa shooting. >> the shooter was killed inside the parliament building. he had a criminal history and was a recent convert to islam. >> the u.s. are working with canadian investigators. wednesday's shooting came three days after a similar attack on another canadian soldier. >> that's absolutely right. the attack you're referring to happened on monday, just outside the canadian city of montreal, about a two, 2.5 hour drive away. what happened was two canadian soldiers were deliberately run over by a car being driven by eight man who recently converted to islam. one soldier died. steven harper, the canadian prime minister linked that attack directly last night to isil. he said it was isil-inspired in his nationwide television address. at the moment, nobody's openly linking what happened here in ottawa to isil, but many signs point that direction. ottawa is a placid city, canadians used to walking up parliament hill into the building. that may have to change in the future and here's why. >> out of the way! >> it was just before 10:00 a.m. at ottawas national war memorial when the first shots were forward. >> there was a guy with a rifle just around on the back corner, and just pow. pow. >> the man according to witnesses had shot 24-year-old corporal cirillo, on guard duty at the canada's tomb of the unknown soldier. he later died. the gunman reportedly seen here in this video highjacked a car and drove to nearby parliament hill where he fired dozens of shots. cameras were searching for the shooter. steven harper was whisked away by security when shots were heard outside a room where he was addressing a caucus. while some canadian members of parliament in session at the time of the attack barricaded themselves into rooms. >> you need to leave! >> others were hustled away by security. >> then we find out about the soldier and this is kind of a day that changes everything. >> authorities say the gunman was stopped, shot and killed by a sergeant at arms. the shooter has been identified. after a sweep of the surrounding neighborhood, police determined there were no other shooters. the prime minister addressed the nation on television last night and condemned the attack. >> 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. >> the violence comes two days after a deadly hit-and-run assault monday against two canadian soldiers by a man harper described as isil-inspired trysts. let there be no misunderstanding. we will not be intimidated. canada will never be intimidated. >> nobody is directly linking what happened in ottawa yesterday with isil, but it's worth noting that canada joint the fight against isil, joined the coalition act seven and the terror alert level was raised after monday's attack, one day before what happened here at parliament hill. >> we are also learning more this morning about the man responsible for taking down the shooter. what else can you tell us about him? >> this is one kevin vickors, described as a man in the right place at the right time and did what he had to do when he had to do it. he is the sergeant-at-arms, a largely ceremonial role. his main job is to protect the speaker of house of commons. he's a former member of the royal canadian mounted police and he is described by canadians this morning as a new national hero. >> let's go to lisa stark in washington. the u.s. is closely watching the developments to our north. what is being done in response to this latest attack? >> the f.b.i. is working with its canadian counter parts now to look into the background of this gunman to try to see if there is any connection to terrorism, what that connection might be, and also president obama has pledged to canada any support it might need. >> president obama condemned the cot with a attack and understands the u.s. would stand side by side with canada, and he called the prime minister season harper to offer support. >> we're all shaken by it, but we're going to do everything we can. it emphasizes the degree to which we have to remain vigilant. >> the white house said the u.s. and canada should be in synch when it comes to dealing with terrorist activity. >> canada is one of the closest friends now of the united states. the united states strongly values that relationship and that relationship makes the citizens of this country safer. >> after the ottawa attack, there was an extra emphasis on security here in the u.s. in new york city, the nypd stood guard while police officers with armed assault weapons patrolled the consulate area. security was increased at the too many of the unknowns. last night, another person jumped the white house fence even with the heightened security. a man can be seen kicking a secret service dog, then picking up another dog and throwing him to the ground. the secret service subdued the man. there's no indication that latest incident had anything to do with terrorism. >> i'm shocked somebody would are the audacity to make that jump and run toward the buildings. >> of course, just about a month ago, there was another incident at the white house, where a u.s. veteran armed with a knife omar gonzalez managed to hop the fence and get all the way into the white house before he was subdued. this week, a judge put off his arraignment saying he may not be mentally able to stand trial. there's some indication that the fence jumper yesterday, according to a baltimore t.v. station may also have had mental health issues. >> here's the bottom line. this is the second attempt to enter the white house in the last month, so are they worried, concerned at the white house? >> well, absolutely. first of all, we should mention that unfortunately these are all too common. there have been 17 fence jumpers in the last five years, seven this year alone, so the incidents are increasing. after the gonzalez incident where he got into the white house, they boosted security there. obviously, it didn't prevent last night's jumper. we know that the department of home land security appointed a commission to look at the security around the white house and make recommendations for increasing that security. >> there are people on the other side of lafayette park that are afraid that the c.i.a. is bombarding them with microwave rays, so very concerned at the white house. >> the canadian parliament will be paying tribute to the corporal who was killed at the memorial. >> a makeshift memorial has formed outside the armory where he stayed. people are bringing flowers and notices of condolences. he was training to be a full time soldier. >> we've seen pictures of him with his dog. the gun he was carrying at the war memorial was ceremonial, that's a ceremonial position. it had no bullets, so he was not armed. family and friends say he was a dedicated single father to his 6-year-old son and worked part time as a personal trainer and bouncer. >> members of parliament praising this man who stopped the shooter. he was serving as the sergeant of arms. he was there when the shooter entered the building. he is the one officials say shot the gunman. >> canadian officials are investigating this footage we've been showing of what appears to be the shooter approaching a car. he gets inside. officials say it was report moments after he shot and killed the guard at the national war memorial. they believe he then drove to parliament minutes later. that's where he was killed. let's bring in jim walsh, an international security expert in washington this morning. jim, thanks again for being with us. canadian officials had raised the terror alert level just the day before. i think a lot of people are asking this morning by wasn't the parliament building more fortified. >> they went from a low level of alert to a moderate level of alert. for every democracy, there is a tension especially when it comes around the legislature, less the prime minister and presidency. the congress is the people's congress and you see classes meet be with their representatives. you have to balance security but also send a message that in a democracy, there's open access and part of what it means when you have elected government is that the citizens get to meet and see and discuss issues with those elected representatives. >> does that balance need to be reexamined, given the breaches we've also seen at the people's house, the white house and is the u.s. security apparatus vulnerable in the same ways we saw in ottawa yesterday? >> i think this is the conversation canadian are going to be having. this is the first time they've had to deal with that. we after 9/11, after the boston marathon bombing, we've probably had enough experience and worry that we've introduced new measures. this is new for canada. are they going to be able to maintain a balance? are they going to overreact in the wake of two incidents in the same week? that remains to be seen. as they try to deal with this as a public policy issue, security around buildings is important but they're looking at a much more significant decision. this week, their parliament was supposed to vote on an intelligence bill. it's in areas of intelligence that the rubber meets the road where you try to balance security versus freedom. that's going to be the more important public policy issue of the two that they're going to have to wrestle with. >> would you expect the u.s. would be helping the canadians with intelligence on incidents like these? >> absolutely. they've been cooperating before, since 9/11 if not before, we've cooperated with countries and certainly would cooperate with the canadians. they've been tracking individuals. they've been worried about -- they're a country of immigrants like the united states. they worry about people being abroad and then returning. in the two instances this week where there were assailants, both had their passports pulled. as we go forward with that story, this is where the center of gravity's going to be. the questions are going to be if you pulled their passports, that meant you had some concern about them and what happened after you did that. is this a small number of individuals, are we talking about dozens of people whose passports were pulled, is it thousands? what's the conditions under which that happens. that's where you'll see the investigations go in the coming weeks. >> mrwalsh, thanks again. >> the u.s. now monitoring all travelers coming from west africa to the united states. they'll report temperatures to officials for 21 days. those rules take effect next week. it affects people traveling from guinea he, sierra leone and line about her liberia. >> man's life was saved after contracting ebola. he found humor in the experience. >> when i first came in, dr. smith, i looked up at him and said am i going to make it. he said we don't know a whole lot yet. i'm like that wasn't the answer i was looking for. >> he feels blessed to be alive. he was treated with an experimental drug as well as blood from dr. kent brantley. >> another ebola patient in the clear, the family of amber vincent said she is free from the deadly virus and regaining strength. she was in effect while treating a patient. >> 29 people were killed in iraq in car bombings in baghdad that happened in a shia neighborhood. sixty were injured. no group has claimed responsibility. >> there is he
