Stephen Ernst

Stephen Ernst is a Canadian man who gained attention as the accused in the 2014 shooting of Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers in Parliament Hill, Ottawa. He was charged with attempted murder and firearms offenses related to that incident, but the case was ultimately withdrawn in 2016 due to insufficient evidence. Ernst's involvement was part of a broader investigation into threats and security issues surrounding recent events in Canada, highlighting the importance of national security and the complexities of legal proceedings in such cases.
