A gunman who shot and killed a soldier at Canada's national war memorial and then stormed Parliament before he was gunned down had prepared a video recording of himself that police say shows he was driven by ideological and political motives, police said Sunday.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Commissioner Bob Paulson said in a statement they have "persuasive evidence that Michael Zehaf-Bibeau's attack was driven by ideological and political motives."

A detailed analysis of the video was being conducted and Paulson said they cannot release the video at this time. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has called Wednesday's shooting a terror attack, and the bloodshed raised fears that Canada is suffering reprisals for joining the U.S.-led air campaign against Islamic State extremists in Iraq and Syria.

Police are investigating Zehaf-Bibeau's interactions with numerous individuals in the days leading up to the attack and whether they could have contributed or facilitated it.

1. In other words

He was yet another narcissist.

There is a very ugly wizard hiding behind the curtain of the Abrahamic faiths; the god they speak of is nothing more than a narcissist at best, a sociopath at worst, one that considers the ability to subjugate and make others submit the supreme and lone virtue. It is true in Tel Aviv, Texas, and Tehran.

2. Most every major creed or ideology has narcissism hiding behind it.

From Soviet-style socialism to abject monarchism, we look for strong leaders to vicariously give us pride and power.

A kind of narcissism is behind ODS. Just as it's behind the "Obama Adulation Syndrome" some have. It's the same as with RDS and the RAS--the Reagan Derangement Syndrome and Reagan Adulation Syndrome. (Of course, if you like Obama, the DSM only includes ODS and RAS because OAS and RDS can only be symptoms of sanity.)

4. People aren't gearing up

and murdering others because they admire (or "adulate&quot President Obama.

You're trying to deflect blame away from abrahamic faiths , the actual driving force behind this specific "lone gunman".

Fandom is not the same thing as zealotry.

Yes, people tend to look for an authority figure to guide them but when that authority figure is a myth then that fervor can easily become unhealthy, can easily lead to war, murder and terrorism in it's need to actualize itself.
