6:32 pm
before arriving at new york's jfk airport. he had been monitoring his temperature, and reported his fever this morning. today, police officers in masks. neighbors anxious. a local councilman trying to calm fears. >> frankly, people in the neighborhood are scared. and some of them are panicked. in fact, i had one gentleman who shouldn't even shake my hand because he was scared. >> reporter: the health department says a team of disease detectives immediately began to actively trace all of the patient's contacts to identify anyone who may be at potential risk. >> our understanding is that very few people were in direct contact with him. >> reporter: in recent days, bellevue hospital has been holding drills in case a possible ebola patient comes through their door. tonight, those plans, going into motion. david, dr. spencer was tested for ebola earlier today. we are expecting to have the results back in just a few hours. david? >> linsey, thank you. dr. richard besser back with us
6:33 pm
tonight. when people see this headline, they think, new york city, 8 million people, we all use the subways, come in contact with a lot of people today. how can we put fears to rest? >> reporter: it is so important to remember, even in such a big city, you only get ebola in you are in contact with a patient's body fluids. this is a doctor. we hope he reached out for help with the earliest symptom. >> let's get right back to that map, rich. the four hospitals in this country that specialize in ebola. they trained for this. he was brought to a different hospital here in new york. but still, you say there were encouraging signs? >> reporter: very different from dallas where they didn't expect an ebola patient. here, the ambulance worker worse fully suited up. when we got to the hospital, he was wearing full gear. this could be a very common infection from west africa. even stomach flu. we'll know later tonight. >> of course you'll stay on it. dr. besser, thank you. now, to the other dropping story at this hour. the stunning new images of that moment of terror, just 60 miles

6:35 pm
he steals this black car, drives it around to the front steps. the car still moving, he jumps out, races inside, officers in hot pursuit. [ gunfire ] and this is what happens next. [ gunfire ] gunfire echoing off the ornate historical walls of parliament. these right here are the steps the gunman ran up during his rampage. after an all-day lockdown yesterday, today, they are letting us back into the building. the bullet holes were visible everywhere. the gunman then came directly through this entryway where he started tangling with some of the guards. shots where fired, and that's when the gunman started running, again, with bullets flying at him, directly down this hallway. this is the incredible part, the then passed these two rooms which were filled with members of parliament and in fact, in this room was the prime minister himself. amid the chaos, prime minister stephen harper quickly whisked away. but in a small room nearby, this member of parliament was trapped
6:36 pm
with her 2-month-ofld baby. you must have been terrified. >> i was terrified, of course. and the first thing i thought how can i make sure the baby is not yetting and crying? >> reporter: she was saved by this man, the parliament's sargeant of arms, kevin vickers, who shot and killed michael zehaf-bibeau. look at this new video in vickers in the moments immediately afterward. gun still in hand, seemingly completely calm. today on the floor of parliament, he received a standing ovation. and there was also a moment of silence for corporal nathan cirillo, a reservist, father, and dog lover, who was shot and killed while guarding the national war memorial, moments before the gunman attacked parliament. and there's one more emotional moment to tell you about. today, the prime minister of this country took to the floor of parliament and vowed that canada will never be intimidated by terrorists. david? >> dan harris on the scene again
6:37 pm
tonight. dan, thank you. abc chief investigative correspondent brian ross now with what he's learning about the suspect. how many times did he travel to the u.s.? here's what brian learned. >> reporter: 15 years ago, michael bibeau was a chubby student at a private catholic high school. yesterday, he was shot dead, carrying out a one-man suicide mission. this picture, which police say is authentic, but from an unknown source, shows he was armed only with a small caliber winchester hunting rifle. as he stormed parliament, apparently upset because he had not received a passport to head to syria. >> i think the passport figured prominently in his motives. >> reporter: the road to jihad apparently began after he left the catholic high school outside montreal in 1999. over the next ten years, he was little more than one of life's losers, a petty criminal and drug user. often homeless. his conversion to islam led him to this mosque, outside
6:38 pm
vancouver, three years ago. where he was remembered today as troubled. >> he was the kind of person that people around him wouldn't feel too comfortable hanging around. >> reporter: even would a passport, bibeau was able to cross the border into the u.s. at least four times. most recently last year. at a time authorities say he had already become radicalized. his parents said today they had not seen him for five years until his mother had lunch with him last week. they said they are crying, not for their son, but for the soldier their son killed. >> four times he came to the u.s. brian ross, thank you. tonight here, severe weather on both coasts. in the west, images coming in at this hour. a confirmed tornado now in washington state. destroying buildings there. while in the east tonight, a nor'easter hitting massachusetts and new england hard. just look and listen. that ferocious storm leaving flood waters in its wake. cars stalled and this man getting a lift to safety from a team of firefighters. abc's rob marciano is in the storm zone tonight.

6:40 pm
