OTTAWA, Ontario — The mother of the man accused of killing a soldier at Ottawa’s war memorial then storming Parliament before being shot dead says she is crying for the victims of the shooting, not her son.
In a brief and tear-filled telephone with The Associated Press Thursday, Susan Bibeau said she did not know what to say to those hurt in the attack.
“Can you ever explain something like this?” she said. “We are sorry.”

TEXT OF STATEMENT FROM PARENTS OF MICHAEL ZEHAF BIBEAU
The following is the full text of a statement issued to The Associated Press by the parents of Michael Zehaf Bibeau, the man authorities say killed a soldier at the National War Memorial, then stormed Parliament before being shot dead. The statement was in response to an AP email that asked about reports that their son was mentally unstable or otherwise vulnerable.
“Hi, I am writing this note on behalf of my husband and myself. No words can express the sadness we are feeling at this time. We are so sad that a man lost his life. He has lost everything and he leaves behind a family that must feel nothing but pain and sorrow. We send our deepest condolences to them although words seem pretty useless. We are both crying for them. We also wish to apologize for all the pain, fright and chaos he created. 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. You write that our son was vulnerable, we don’t know, we (he) was lost and did not fit in. I his mother spoke with him last week over lunch, I had not seen him for over five years before that. So I have very little insight to offer. We don’t wish to be part of any media circus, we don’t think it will add anything to the conversation. Please respect our privacy although many may not feel we deserve any … Once again we are so sorry. Susan Bibeau and Bulgasem Zehaf"

Green Party Leader Elizabeth May urged calm while law enforcement officials investigate what happened.
"Today is not a day that 'changes everything,'" she said in a statement.
"It is a day of tragedy. We must ensure we keep our responses proportionate to whatever threat remains."
It's hard to tell in the immediate aftermath of a shocking event just how much will change. It's just as hard to know whether those changes will last.
There were moments Wednesday where some of it seemed routine: journalists waited outside with the same colleagues with whom they've staked out dozens of closed doors and public events. The newsrooms, albeit locked down, throbbed with the energy that only comes with the biggest of breaking stories.
For the staffers locked inside their offices, advised to stack furniture to block the doors, hearing the police smash through neighbouring rooms to ensure no one was hiding, heading to work will likely feel a lot different.
After all the chaos and horror, NDP Leader Tom Mulcair sounded a reassuring note.
"Canada is shaken today but we shall not waver. We woke up this morning in a country blessed by love, diversity and peace. And tomorrow, we will do the same."
