The security guard who stopped an armed shooter at Edmonton City Hall earlier this week is shrugging off any accolades, according to his boss
"'Well sir, I was just doing my job," Nick Grimshaw, chief executive officer of employer Northern Alberta Commissionaires, told CTV News Edmonton the guard said to him following the incident.
The guard, a military veteran who wishes to remain anonymous, is already back at work at another location.
"That's an indication of the type of character that he is, he's back to work. He was back to work yesterday," Grimshaw said
"He went above and beyond his duties and responsibilities as a commissionaire, and demonstrated very, very brave and fearless actions."
The shooter fired multiple shots inside city hall and threw a Molotov cocktail from the second floor before he was detained by the guard, who held him until police arrived.
No one was injured.
