The MP for Kenora calls Kevin Vickers a true Canadian hero.
Greg Rickford is commenting on the actions of his friend and Sergeant-At-Arms after Vickers eliminated the threat of a terrorist attack Wednesday in the Parliament building.
Rickford says the 58-year-old managed to shoot and kill Michael Zehaf-Bibeau.
He notes Vickers and his team marched forward under the threat of the shooter and didn’t retreat or move sideways.
Rickford stresses Vickers risked his life to protect others.
He says his efforts are the reason why the threat was reduced and eliminated.
