Ottawa attack: MPs fashioned spears from flagpoles

Duplicate from the other day but it's a great story. AoS.
Stephen Harper spent about 15 minutes hidden in a Parliament Hill closet after a gunman stormed Centre Block where he and the rest of the Conservative caucus were guarded by MPs who’d fashioned sharp spears from flagpoles, sources say.

After they heard gunfire outside their meeting room door Wednesday, members of Parliament snapped close to 15 flagpoles to make weapons.

#3  The MPs were allowed to keep the flagpoles. What a fine trophy that will be over the fireplace.
