An Edmonton judge has denied bail for Bezhani Sarvar, the man accused in the January shooting at City Hall.
Sarvar, 28, is charged with two terrorism offences, in addition to nine provincial charges in connection with the Jan. 23 incident at city hall.
Multiple rounds were fired inside the building and a Molotov cocktail was thrown from the second floor, causing a small fire.
No one was injured.
Sarvar is a former security guard with the Commissionaires, although his former employer says he was never stationed at city hall.
In a nearly five-minute video police say may be connected to the city hall shooting, a man wearing a security jacket talks about his mission and the issues he believes society is facing.
CTV News Edmonton has been unable to confirm who posted the video.
City hall was closed to the public for nearly two months after the shooting, reopening on March 25 with new security measures in place.
