Canadian Ambassador Tackles Protester
Canadian diplomat became a national hero when he shot an armed gunman inside the Ottawa parliament.

DUBLIN (AP) — A Canadian diplomat who became a national hero when he shot an Islamic gunman inside the Ottawa parliament has tussled with a protester at a military ceremony in Dublin.
Kevin Vickers, Canada's ambassador to Ireland, grabbed a man who was shouting "This is an insult!" near a memorial service for British soldiers killed during a 1916 rebellion against British rule. Vickers grabbed the man and held him before police moved in to arrest the protester.
Vickers was sergeant-at-arms of the Canadian parliament when Michael Zehaf-Bibeau burst into the building on Oct. 22, 2014 after killing a soldier outside. Vickers, a former Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer, and a policeman killed the attacker in a gunfight.
The Canadian embassy in Dublin declined to comment on Thursday's incident.
