has kevin vickers walked into the parliamentary chambers, you could tell mr. vickers was trying to control himself. tears formed in his eyes. what went through your mind. we've had several attempts since 9/11 to carry out an al qaeda attack. there were three disrupted in the last eight years targeting parliament and the canadian forces. all of them were disrupted. this was the first successful in terms of causing loss of life terrorist attacks that we've had in recent years anyway. so it is a moment for canada, and i think they'll be a great deal of thought put into how to proceed because we in canada always tended to think of ourselves as kind of apart from the violence that takes place in many parts of the world. we see ourselves as a haven from all of that. we welcome refugees and immigrants from all over the world to live peacefully as canadians away from those zones of conflict. so to have it come into our country is something new. >> they're singing the canadian national anthem right now, stewart. i want you to talk from your heart. this is an amazingly p

obviously didn't know the layout and went down to the bottom of the hall of honor and that's where kevin vickers' office is and mr. vickers acted pretty summarily once he understood what the situation was. >> it's remarkable had he taken the left turn instead he would have encountered probably the most critical mass of government members that would be in that building. >> absolutely. i mean over a glass of scotch last night late reflection, they were amateurs. there was a car there that could have been booby-trapped before the area was cordoned off. there was a second assailant could have been sniping at all of us who were standing around, milling around completely oblivious to the fact that first responders and journalists and whoever else were in danger. it does seem to me to be pretty haphazard attempt here. doesn't seem to be a lot of planning involved. >> you and i were texting pretty much throughout the entire afternoon into the evening and i couldn't believe how long you were under lockdown and i'm glad you got the scotch finally. i want to ask you, chris, if i could about what you saw, y

kevin vickers shot and killed the suspect. but who is he? ers 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 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 wh

the sergeant at arms, kevin vickers managed to shoot and kill the gunman outside a room where a caucus meeting was held. it was a busy day, wednesday morning is parliament morning when all the lawmakers have caucuses. it is interesting to note, the police chief at the press conference in the last 20 minutes said the shooting took them by surprise. the terror threat in canada was raised from low to medium in the last 36 hours based in part on increased chatter online from radical groups including the islamic state in al qaeda. i found this quote from the canadian ministry spokesman said this yesterday, the increased level means that intelligence has indicated that an individual or group within canada or abroad has the intent and capability to commit an act of terrorism. what words those are just coming one day before today's shooting. i can tell you that security analysts who monitor the things say no claim of responsibility yet on any jihadist website. so as we said before, liz, a lot of questions unanswered, and one of the biggest is, is there another gunman out there? we continue to

[ 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 the shooter. >> among those people, the leaders of this chamb

. >> the gunman was shot dead by sergeant-at-arms kevin vickers and police fanned out. just two days ago two soldiers in montreal were run down, one killed by a suspect said to have ties to isis. canada has sent six war planes to help bomb isis and that looks like retaliation. >> these are government targets exactly what isis is pushing towards people to attack. >> president obama said the u.s. is on alert even though it is not clear what happened or why in canada. zblrz we have to remain vijellent. >> we are . >> we are treeating this very seriously. >> chilling to see that video in canada's parliament building. our coverage will continue at 5:30. >>> back here at home, calling for an investigation, not only san jose city leaders but the police union, this after police reported head of the union may be sabotaging the recruitment process by encouraging cadets to quit. we are live at the police department. robert. >> that's right, the mayor called for an investigation into the police union and the police union responded into what has turned into, literally, a war of word

but the gunman was reportedly shot dead by the ceremonial sergeant at arms, kevin vickers, who's now being hailed as a hero. so what do we know of the attacker? he's known as michael zehaf-bibeau, a canadian citizen in his early 30s who converted to islam. he was a suspected jihadist sympathizer whose name was on a terrorist watch list. he was labeled by authorities as a high-risk traveler and had recently had his passport taken away. our correspondent nick bryant sent us this report from ottawa. >> reporter: ottawa remains a city on edge, with the kind of heavy security presence that canadians normally associate with america. the police still haven't ruled out the possibility that the gunman who attacked the country's war memorial and parliament had accomplices. they don't want to be caught out again. the police believe that the man who carried out this attack on parliament was a muslim convert in his early 30s who had his passport taken away because of suspected jihadist sympathies. before being shot dead, he killed a canadian soldier, on guard at the country's war memorial. 24-yea
