A handful of emergency-services task-force officers Canada's version of a police SWAT team spilled out, wearing body armor and carrying submachine guns. As shoppers hurried into the nearby mall food-court entrance, Hagglund found himself staring down the barrel of a Glock pistol.
"You could stick your fist down one of those things," he recalled.
