Nova Scotia authorities have begun investigating the shooting of a gunman who may have been disguised as a police officer and went on 12-hour rampage that left 16 people dead in a small town.
A confrontation with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police began after a manhunt for the fleeing suspect overnight Saturday. Multiple crime scenes and hours of evasion later, the gunman was killed Sunday in a shootout with police. Nova Scotia Serious Incident Response Team (SiRT) took over the investigation into the death, according to a statement from SiRT.
Gabriel Wortman, 51, was identified as the suspect and was confirmed dead by RCMP Chief Superintendent Chris Leather.
The motive behind the shooting, one of Canada's deadliest, is still under investigation, Leather said. Some victims, he said, "appeared not to have a relationship with the assailant shooter."
The chaos began when police were first called to a property around 10:30 p.m. Saturday. "When police arrived at the scene the members located several casualties inside and outside of the home," Leather said.
One of those killed was Constable Heidi Stevenson, a mother of two and 23-year veteran of the RCMP. Another officer is in the hospital receiving treatment for non-life-threatening injuries he suffered in the incident, the RCMP said on Facebook.

That sounds like the two officers were in the same location at the start. Domestic problem? Old boyfriend? Nut who thought he was a boyfriend? Lots of questions on this one.
Trump’s fault
When seconds count, the police are just 12 hours away...
I read elsewhere that the lady cop was involved with him in an extra-marital affair.
I wonder if her gun was used in any of the carnage.
I wonder if she even had a gun?
I saw that pic last night minus 5he MAGA hat.
Sacrebleu! Gabe had a screw loose!
I realize Nova Scotia isn’t Texas, but how about a specif place in Nova Scotia. Was it Oak Island? Are Rick and Marty okay? /s
“...several crime scenes miles apart beginning in Portapique and stretching to Enfield...”
You are welcome, eh.
It “sounds like” since it isn’t clear to me, that the murdered police officer and the wounder officer were “victims” of a crime, NOT responding to a crime.
Urinalism today. What a disgrace.
Who, What, Where, When. It’s not rocket science.
When you need help fast, the RCMP is only 12 hours away. Thank you for disarming, victims ... er, I mean ... citizens.
Muslim convert?
Yes, that was photoshopped.
One article I read stated that he was with a long term partner, a woman, FWIW.
I guess the RCMP has declined since the glory days of Dudley Doright.
What kind of gun did he use and where did he get it?
