(CNN) -- The gunman responsible for the terrorist attack in Ottawa last week was "driven by ideological and political motives" and made a video of himself, police said Sunday.
Authorities have previously identified the gunman as Michael Zehaf-Bibeau. He opened fire Wednesday at Canada's National War Memorial and Parliament Hill, killing army reservist Cpl. Nathan Cirillo.
The gunman was then shot and killed by security.
The video was recorded just prior to the attack, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said in a statement. Authorities are conducting an analysis of that video and said they would not be releasing it at this time.

They also provided a handful of other updates on their investigation:
-- Zehaf-Bibeau used a gun that was old and uncommon;
-- He carried a knife, which authorities believe was retrieved from his aunt's property;
-- Zehaf-Bibeau had worked in the oil fields in Alberta and saved his money;
-- Officials are looking into whether anyone else could have contributed to the attack.
Zehaf-Bibeau had ties to jihadists in Canada who shared a radical Islamist ideology, including at least one who went overseas to fight in Syria, multiple U.S. sources said last week.
