The sergeant-at-arms for Canada’s House of Commons, Kevin Vickers, is credited with using his handgun to stop the man who shot and killed reservist Nathan Cirillo yesterday at the National War Memorial before making his way inside the Parliament building.
What didn’t Vickers use to stop the rampage?
