The rampage occurred across two days. Wortman murdered 13 people in the Portapique neighbourhood where he owned a cottage, where he also set fire to the homes of many of his victims. Wortman then hid out for the night behind a welding shop in Debert, N.S., and then began killing again, mostly at roadside locations both north and south of Portapique starting at 6:36 a.m.
The most contentious part of the inquiry surrounds this second day, and the notion that police may have been able to prevent some of the nine additional murders if they had appropriately sounded the alarm. Most notably, police failed to authorize the Alert Ready system, which would have sent an audible warning to every mobile phone in the region, along with a description of Wortman.
One reason was that senior Mounties didn’t even know about the Alert Ready system. “Had no knowledge of it,” the RCMP district commander, Allan Carroll, told the commission. Officers also assumed that the killer had taken his own life after the initial massacre at the Portapique subdivision.
It wasn’t until reports emerged of an early morning murder and arson 30 minutes north of Portapique that police would begin sending out alerts carrying Wortman’s name and description — and it would take another hour after that for alerts to say that Wortman was driving a replica police car. Several of Wortman’s victims on this second day would know that a killer was on the loose, but not what he was last seen driving.
It’s notable that at least one of Wortman’s apparent intended victims, Adam Fisher, would be able to save himself in part because he had prior knowledge of the killer’s possession of a replica police vehicle. Just before 10 a.m. Wortman would pull his replica police car into Fisher’s...

Canadian cops are the most worthless pieces of crap on the planet.
Just in time for Trudeau’s new gun control
Human just like all Police officers.
But Mounties look so cute in those red unies with the flat hats!
That's why they need to bring in CIA trained Uke NWO mercs to do the dirty work that is even too dirty for native Canuck cops to do.
I have inside information, Canadian relatives, who are not welcome in America or my home.

Canada is a VERY VIOLENT country.

Complete incompetence. Especially that one woman who was shot and her Fitbit recorded a pulse for another 8 hours till she bled out. Utter incompetence.
But it’s not like it was a trucker or Covid protest or anything.
Reminds me of Edgar Allan Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart.
That’s the understatement of the day.
“And the scariest part was the gross incompetence of the RCMP”
Nervous Mountie jumped off his whistle and blew his horse.
Total - 22 dead.
