RCMP have released a photo of a man considered to be the suspect in an active shooter situation in Portapique, Nova Scotia.

Police say Gabriel Wortman, 51, is considered armed and dangerous. He is described as a white man, bald, between 6’2” and 6’3” with green eyes.

RCMP say Wortman may be driving what appears to be an RCMP vehicle and appear to be wearing an RCMP uniform.

RCMP say Wortman's vehicle is marked #28B11, behind rear passenger window. If anyone sees a RCMP car marked #28B11, they should call 911 immediately.

If you see Wortman, RCMP say not to approach him, but call 911.

RCMP say Wortman is currently in the Central Onslow or Debert, N.S. area.

Previously, RCMP were advising people to avoid Highway 4 near Hidden Hilltop Campground in Glenholme, N.S..

According to police, the situation in the small community of Portapique is still ongoing and there are several victims.

Police have not said whether any of the victims have died.

Very few details are being released at this time.

Around 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, RCMP told residents of Portapique Beach Road, Bay Shore Road and Five Houses Road to stay inside with their doors locked.

This is a developing story, more to come. RELATED IMAGES

Impossible! Canadians are better than us and are non-violent.

That’s why we share private, criminal, and tax status information on EVERY U.S. Citizen with their government.

After all, who needs privacy?

Would they give such a detailed description of this nut if he was a person of color? Just asking.
