Is a good guy with a gun. Even in Canada.
By all accounts, the white-haired grandfather, a decorated veteran of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, kept cool amid the chaos as dozens of bullets flew in the corridors, went to his office, retrieved his weapon and with a firm hand and a steely eye shot a killer before he could kill again. Vickers, who is 6 feet 4 inches tall, then walked away, gun-in hand, having “taken care of business,” as one news outlet put it.
And then he called his mother to say he was safe.The National has a pretty good breakdown of the shootout.
This is the man himself.
Doesn't quite look like the stereotypical Hollywood hero, does he? That's okay. Most heroes don't. Anyway, this is my favorite online tribute to Mr Vickers.
@evansolomoncbc The name is Vickers, Kevin Vickers.
