Mom of Canada shooter: 'I am mad at my son'

The mother of the gunman in Canada's capital city said Thursday she mourns for the victims of the attack, not her son.
"If I'm crying, it's for the people," Susan Bibeau told the Associated Press, struggling to hold back tears, "not for my son."
Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, a Canadian born in 1982, was fatally shot during the assault Wednesday that left a guard at the National War Memorial dead and targeted Canada's Parliament building.

"Can you ever explain something like this?" Susan Bibeau said. "We are sorry."
Zehaf-Bibeau was shot by Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers.
Susan Bibeau lives in Montreal and works for the federal government, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. (CBC). She and Zehaf-Bibeau's father, Bulgasem Zehaf, divorced in 1999.

"I am mad at my son," Bibeau wrote in an e-mail to the AP, explaining that Michael — who had a criminal record in Quebec and British Columbia, according to the CBC — seemed lost "and did not fit in."
Bibeau said she hadn't seen Zehaf-Bibeau for five years before a lunch meeting with him last week.
