Ottawa shooting: The face-to-face encounter that ended the attack on Parliament
CBC News ^ | Oct. 24, 2014 | Evan Solomon

Posted on 10/25/2014 11:05:40 AM PDT by GrootheWanderer

Hearing gunshots, Vickers grabbed his side arm, a semi-automatic pistol, and immediately ran out. His security team, who had been chasing Bibeau, yelled to Vickers that the suspect was hiding in the alcove

Vickers immediately ran behind the other side of the pillar. That put him an arm's-length away from Bibeau.

According to guards, Vickers actually could see the barrel of Bibeau's gun pointing out, a foot away.

Vickers did not hesitate.

In one motion, sources told CBC News he dove to the floor around the pillar, at the feet of Bibeau, turning on his back as he landed and simultaneously firing his weapon upwards at Bibeau.

Bibeau was hit multiple times and fell to the ground. Vickers kept firing, emptying his entire magazine.

Cool. The Sgt at Arms can definitely claim to have fired at least one gun whilst jumping through the air.

One day we'll decide to take these a-holes down before they can kill anyone. As in profiling muslims.

He shot with only one objective and he succeeded.

Impressive. This happened in real life, not in front of Hollywood cameras in controlled conditions.

All those who bleat silliness like ‘why did they have to shoot him so many times’ and ‘why couldn’t they just shoot him in the leg’ please pick up the white courtesy telephone...

I'm surprised that

1. The Sgt at Arms even had a gun. Did he go retrieve it when the shooting started or was he carrying? and

2. The libs haven't accused him of having an illegal firearm, police brutality in shooting the muzzie trash, being "trigger happy", etc.

Some semi-automatic hand guns have a large capacity magazine.

An Astra of mine held 14 rounds.

Oh my. He's open to an accusation of "disproportionate response."

Yep, I was wondering if the Jihadi, too, had his pants down and his hands up....

“Paging Office Darren Wilson. Please pick up the green courtesy phone in the lobby. “

Unfortunately, the two situation have very few parallels. Bibeau had a weapon and had already killed someone. Not that Brown didn’t warrant bing shot as well.

Why did he have to shoot him so many times? Why did he kill him? He could have just shot the gun out of his hands!

I am also glad the journalist recognized that Kevin Vickers emptied his magazine and not his clip at the terrorist.
