Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his Conservative MPs pinned themselves against the walls of their barricaded caucus room after piling furniture against the door to prevent a gunman from entering during Wednesday's chaotic attack on Parliament Hill.
Several Conservative sources spoke of a terrifying 15-minute period when they stripped flags off flagpoles to arm themselves while the gunman exchanged fire with security forces mere metres away.
Conservative caucus sources told CBC News they heard the shooting and threw things against the doors to barricade the doorway in the caucus room.
The prime minister was in the room at the time.
