From Canadian Press:

A number of Canadian politicians who witnessed the scenes on Parliament Hill appeared on American news shows to describe what they'd seen. The NDP's Charlie Angus described hearing the gunshots from inside the Opposition members' chamber during the weekly caucus meeting.

Angus told Fox News that Canadians weren't going to be intimidated by this type of act.

"We're not gonna let punks, or crazies, or terrorists, take us down. Not gonna happen," the NDP MP told the cable-news outlet.

"We don't give in to it."
