| The Sergeant-at-Arms of Canada's Parliament is being hailed as a hero after shooting dead a gunman who burst into the Parliament building during a spree that claimed the life of a Canadian soldier.
Kevin Vickers, a former member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, shot the suspect, said Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino.
"All the details are not in, but the Sergeant-at-Arms, a former Mountie, is the one that engaged the gunman, or one of them at least, and stopped this," Mr Fantino said.
"He did a great job and, from what I know, shot the gunman and he is now deceased."
The Sergeant-at-Arm's role is to keep order in Parliament and participate in the daily parade that opens the deliberative body at the start of the session. The job is not usually associated with armed security.
