Podcast appearances and mentions of gabriel wortman

FOLLOW-UP TO THE #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER 22 MURDERSThe truth about the deadliest criminal incident in Canadian history has remained untold—until now.Investigative journalist Paul Palango's 22 Murders examined the April 2020 shooting spree committed by Gabriel Wortman that began in Portapique, Nova Scotia, and ended thirteen and a half hours later when Wortman was shot dead by RCMP officers. The episode left numerous serious questions in its wake—most especially why was the killer able to evade police in such limited geography for so long?Since then, the government called a public inquiry into the massacres—the Mass Casualty Commission. Though Palango unearthed a treasure trove of evidence pointing to the possibility that Wortman or someone close to him was acting as a police agent, the commission evaded all the big questions and let the RCMP off with a slap on the wrist. To this day, no one has been held accountable.In his new book, Palango continues to crack the case, delving deeper into the evidence and testimonies of the witnesses who have been ignored. Drawing on his vast experience as an investigative reporter, he has mined the thousands of pages of commission documents to reveal the wall of secrecy and deceptions constructed by the RCMP and the criminal justice system, exposing new facts that may alter the public's perception of what really happened.A tour-de-force of reportage, Anatomy of a Cover-Up accomplishes what the commission set out to do—uncover the truth about the Nova Scotia massacres and bring long overdue justice to its victims. ANATOMY OF A COVERUP: The Truth about the RCMP and the Nova Scotia Massacres—Paul PalangoReplyForwardAdd reaction

There are many lingering questions about the two-day killing spree by Gabriel Wortman that killed 22 people in 2020 in Nova Scotia, even after a joint federal/provincial commission wrapped up its inquiry. Investigative journalist Paul Palango joins Brian to discuss why he thinks all signs point to RCMP covering up that Wortman was working undercover for them before his rampage, as he exposes in his new book, Anatomy of a Cover-Up. He explains that it's why police did nothing about reports that Wortman had illegal guns, and why the story of Wortman's eventual killing by cop, and the account of his girlfriend, don't line up with the evidence. If he's right, then Canadians have been fed a lot of lies by officials — and we finally deserve the truth. (Recorded June 12, 2025) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week, Paul Palango and Adam Rodgers discuss the launch of Paul's latest book, "Anatomy of a Coverup - The Truth About the RCMP and the Nova Scotia Massacres", which took place at The Old Triangle in Halifax. There were some special guests on hand, and discussion on excerpts from the book. The chapter on the death of Corrie Ellison has attracted significant attention from readers. Paul shows how it is likely that an RCMP officer, not Gabriel Wortman, actually killed Mr. Ellison. Adam and Paul review the key findings and pieces of evidence that make this conclusion more likely than not. Next week, the show will in part focus on the new revelations around the death of Cst. Heidi Stevenson.

2020, Gabriel Wortman plonge le Canada dans l'horreur. Voici son histoire complète. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

A spine-chilling look into one of Canada's most notorious mass killings. Today's story takes place in Portapique, Nova Scotia- an idyllic community nestled on the beautiful shore of Canada's Bay of Fundy. It's where wealthy denturist Gabriel Wortman decides to call home. Gabriel is a prominent resident and highly regarded by his many neighbors for his generosity and helpful nature – not to mentions the great parties he throws at his expansive man cave. But as new neighbor Lisa McCully gets close to Gabriel, a much darker and dangerous side of him emerges, and soon the whole community is living in terror of him. Tragically, their fears are justified when his criminal enterprise falls apart and an unfathomable mass murder spree is unleashed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week marks five years since Gabriel Wortman murdered 22 Nova Scotians over the course of 13 hours. Paul Palango and Adam Rodgers are joined this week by Scott MacLeod, brother of Sean MacLeod, one of Wortman's victims. Scott was present for much of the Mass Casualty Commission hearing process, and is a part of the Progress Monitoring Committee that was established to track the implementation of the MCC's recommendations. Scott shares his reflections on all of that, along with his still unanswered questions that remain after five years. Before Scott joins the discussion, Paul and Adam discuss the parts of the federal leaders' debates where justice issues were raised, as well as Paul's week of meetings with publishers in Toronto (and what that says about public attitudes towards policing in Canada).

In this episode of the Crack House Chronicles Donnie and Dale discuss the events that happened April 18 and 19, 2020 in Nova Scotia Canada. This is when 51-year-old Gabriel Wortman committed multiple shootings and set fires at sixteen locations in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, killing twenty-two people and injuring three others before he was shot and killed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in the community of Enfield. The attacks are the deadliest shooting rampage in Canadian history. https://www.crackhousechronicles.com/ https://linktr.ee/crackhousechronicles https://www.tiktok.com/@crackhousechronicles https://www.facebook.com/crackhousechronicles Check out our MERCH! https://www.teepublic.com/user/crackhousechronicles SOURCES: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Nova_Scotia_attacks#References https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65107912 https://chatelaine.com/living/features-living/lisa-banfield-nova-scotia-inquiry/  

On April 18th and 19th of 2020, Gabriel Wortman carried out one of Canada's deadliest mass casualties. In just over thirteen hours, he went on a killing spree across several rural communities, murdering twenty-two people. The tragedy shocked the nation and questions were raised about how this dirtbag was able to successfully impersonate a police officer and rain down terror on the people of Nova Scotia.

In April 2020, a horrifying 13-hour mass shooting unfolded in rural Nova Scotia. Disguised as a police officer, Gabriel Wortman embarked on a devastating rampage that claimed 22 lives and left communities in terror. The gaps in law enforcement revealed by Wortman's actions, and the lasting impact on the victims' families, shook the nation and will forever be described as one of Canada's darkest days.Our other podcast: "FEARFUL" - https://open.spotify.com/show/56ajNkLiPoIat1V2KI9n5c?si=OyM38rdsSSyyzKAFUJpSywMERCH:https://www.redbubble.com/people/wickedandgrim/shop?asc=uPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/wickedandgrim?fan_landing=trueYoutube for video podcast:https://www.youtube.com/@WickedandGrimYoutube for lifestyle and vlogs: https://www.youtube.com/@WickedLifeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wickedandgrim/ Instagram:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wickedandgrim/?hl=enTwitter: https://twitter.com/wickedandgrimWebsite: https://www.wickedandgrim.com/Wicked and Grim is an independent podcast produced by Media Forge Studios, and releases a new episode here every Tuesday and Friday.https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/longform/nova-scotia-shooting-13-deadly-hours/https://globalnews.ca/news/6882592/nova-scotia-shooting-detailed-timeline/https://globalnews.ca/news/6841035/portapique-nova-scotia-mass-shooting-victims/https://globalnews.ca/news/9589954/nova-scotians-killed-2020-mass-shooting/https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/2020-nova-scotia-attackshttps://globalnews.ca/news/8980542/gabriel-wortman-generations-violence-family-mass-shooting-nova-scotia/https://masscasualtycommission.ca/final-report/newsinteractives.cbc.ca Hosted on Acast.

In April of 2020, While the rest of the world was worried about running out of toilet paper, denturist Gabriel Wortman and his live in girlfriend of 20 years, were engaged in a blow out of a fight. This was nothing new to his girlfriend, Lisa, she was used to regularly being yelled at, assaulted, beaten and restrained by Gabriel. But on this night she was able to escape and run into the woods and hide.  What would follow, would be unforeseeable, even to Lisa, who knew what he was capable of.  For the next 13 hours, Gabriel would dress as an RCMP officer, while driving one of the FOUR replica RCMP cars that he had fixed up. He would terrorize, friends, acquaintances, and strangers alike.  Many felt as if the RCMP had made multiple crucial errors,  that had cost the lives of their loved ones. Could they have done more to keep the people of Nova Scotia safe?   This is the tragic story of the 202 shooting in Nova Scotia, Canada.Support the showIf you're interested in receiving bonus episodes, early release dates, an everything scary sticker and ‘thank you' as well as a shout out on our regular feed!

On the cold spring morning of April 19, 2020, a woman staggered from the woods outside Portapique Nova Scotia. Her bare feet were blackened from running through the woods, and she was covered in scrapes and bruises. She hammered on the door of a neighbor, who let her inside and called 911. She told police something had finally snapped in her abusive common-law partner Gabriel Wortman. But by the time she made that phone call, he'd already murdered 13 people and his rampage was far from over.

In this weekly series, I review updates and developments related to Canada's worst Mass Shootings which occurred in Nova Scotia during a 13 hour period spanning April 18th and 19th, 2020.

This week in Nova Scotian and Canadian law, I give a preview of the Mass Casualty Commission's final report, which is set to come out March 30th. The MCC stated this week that the report will be between 2000-3000 pages, a statement that seemed designed to ward off 'instant' reactions or critiques as being necessarily ill-considered. The final decision on the search warrants issued about Gabriel Wortman's properties was delivered last week. I take a look, and discuss how the police and governments can be more transparent. On government transparency, Parker Donham had a decision go against him regarding an application under freedom of information legislation. He was seeking information on the Seal Island Bridge, and opposed the granting of an extension of time for the government to provide the information. In a small claims court case released this week, a dog breeder successfully sued a couple who bought a White German Sheppard, and then had it neutered, in violation of their contract with the breeder. There was a decision released this week on riparian rights in Nova Scotia, which is the right of anyone who owns land adjacent to waterways to access navigable waters from their shoreline. This lawsuit arose when neighboring property owners built a wharf that interfered with the ability of the plaintiff to access waters from her property. Finally, I look to an open letter on the federal government's efforts to craft legislation on online safety, signed by a dozen or so civil liberties organizations.

Over the course 13 hours beginning on April 18 and continuing to April 19, Gabriel Wortman set out on a murderous rampage in rural Nova Scotia, killing 22 people. Some of whom he knew, others were strangers. It is still the deadliest mass shooting in Nova Scotia's History.    OhMyGaia.com Code: Creeper     https://www.tonicvibes.com Code: Creeper     EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions   Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Patreon.com/sandupodcast   Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com   OhMyGaia.com Facebook Twitter/Instagram: @TrueCrimeGuys @AndImMichael @sandupodcast STICKERS CREEPER MERCH Sources:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oK8waZNjRk0 (Video of Wortman Apprehension/death)   https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrime/comments/s9bhh9/gabriel_wortman_shot_dead_after_a_13hr_rampage/   https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61300308 https://www.reddit.com/r/masskillers/comments/wso9vf/this_is_the_spot_gabriel_wortman_hid_overnight/ Gabriel Wortman : The Nova Scotia Mass Shooter   13 Hours: A timeline of the Nova Scotia mass shooting   Gabriel Wortman Case Analysis | What are the Characteristics of Wannabe Cops?   https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/18/americas/canada-worst-mass-shooting-anniversary/index.html https://nationalpost.com/news/who-was-gabriel-wortman-the-denturist-behind-the-nova-scotia-mass-shooting

In this episode I'm joined by Paul Palango and Adam Rodgers to discuss the recent Nova Scotia Health Authority privacy breach related to health records of those affected by the mass casualty, the malicious prosecution lawsuit filed by Lisa Banfield and the federal governement's response, and lastly a recently published essay by Lisa Banfield that outlines her history with Gabriel Wortman as told in the previously untold diary she has kept since meeting him.  Episode Links: the Nova Scotia Mass Shooting Timeline Episode: https://www.nighttimepodcast.com/episodes/nova-scotia-mass-shooting-timeline the Nova Scotia Mass Shooting Series: https://www.nighttimepodcast.com/nova-scotia-rampage Join the Nova Scotia Mass Casualty Discussion Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/novascotiamasscasualty Send a tip related to this case: https://www.nighttimepodcast.com/contact Send a voicememo to the show: nighttimepodcast.com/contact Subscribe to the show: Premium feed: https://www.patreon.com/Nighttimepodcast Apple Podcasts: https://applepodcasts.com/nighttime Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3nZztXBziqQv5KcPG1m5k8?si=ed168b2235a94632 Musical Theme: Noir Toyko by Monty Datta Social Links: Website: https://www.nighttimepodcast.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/NightTimePod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NightTimePod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nighttimepod Learn more about your ad choices.

I start this episode by discussing a visit I had with 4th year forensic psychology students at St. F.X., their thoughts on my Deficits of Trust report, and on the psychology of the killer, Gabriel Wortman. This week also saw the federal government file its defense to the lawsuit started by Wortman's spouse, Lisa Banfield. I discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the defense. The murder trial of William Sandeson took a dramatic turn this week, with Sandeson himself taking the stand and (for the first time) claiming that he shot Taylor Samson in self-defense. I go through he claims, and evaluate how the Crown's case is now looking, as well as what kind of special instruction the judge may now have to provide to the jury. This week in Canadian law, non-disclosure agreements and bail reform were under discussion at the Canadian Bar Association conference. Justice Minister Lametti suggested that the federal government will heed the calls from the opposition and the Premiers to make changes to our bail system for alleged offenses where guns are involved. I also review the change of plea for former MLA Hugh MacKay, the proposed class action lawsuit against the Canadian Hockey League, Dalhousie Law students claims of racism, and the Law Society of Alberta vote on mandatory education on indigenous legal culture and traditions.

What a year and with all the things that were going on including this podcast!Now between the time these these beautiful little podcast episodes were lovingly handcrafted and then left overnight to rise (not necessary but that's how we get the episode sizes we're looking for) to the end of the year things can change. Well fret not friendly neighbourhood listener for we are here to fill you in on what has changed (Making us the only new source you need! (you're welcome)). What do we have updates on? Well:Steven Donziger has been up to many things what with his courtcase against Chevron and the climate crisis continuing on in it's crisining ways;JFK... for a man that has been dead for the better part of 6 decades surprisingly he has had a busy year;Julian Assange's friends in the media have put together a super group song to send their love down the well (not really... but kinda);British Andy the plucky young 62 year old scamp appears to be having a little spat with his brother which means he's sleeping on the couch... I don't know which but it's not the one at Buckingham palace. Also his armed security is being taken away.The RCMP have finished their commission into Gabriel Wortman's mass shooting... Surely this means there is substantive updates!;Chelsie has decided that Mothperson grew a set and continued on its creepy ways in the Chicago area;Florida's land may be more likely to face substantial property losses in the near future;The Climate change headlines have continued to amass;Kazakhstan's protests have provided some changes to their government; andThe power grids have certainly been an electric topic all over from Ukraine to the US.Sit back have a few drinks and let the last moments of 2022 pass with your best friends Taylor and Chelsie (We are going to show up so if you don't it will be real awkward).In the intro we discuss killer police robots or something. I don't know you can't expect me to remember everything. Just listen.

This week on the Rodgers Brief, I analyze the major law-related news stories of the week. The main topics this episode are; 1. The Emergency Act Inquiry in Ottawa. This week the protest 'leaders' take the stand, seemingly to show themselves as disorganized and non-violent. 2. The Ontario government has announced that it will use the Notwithstanding Clause in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to stop a strike from happening in the school system. 3. A group of private citizens is trying to organize what they call the National Citizens Inquiry, which would look into the government response to the Covid-19 pandemic. A private inquiry does not have the legal legitimacy of a public inquiry, but may yet have some value. 4. Lisa Banfield has filed a lawsuit against the Federal and Nova Scotia governments for having charged and prosecuted her for supplying ammunition to her spouse, Gabriel Wortman. I assess the strength of the lawsuit, and identify some of its weaknesses. Other stories I mention include the Luomba case out of Quebec, dealing with racial profiling during traffic stops, an announcement that an independent land claims process has been agreed upon by First Nations leaders and the Federal government, and C-18, the Online News Act, which is a pay for clicks piece of legislation which has the potential to infringe considerably on our freedom of expression rights. I will be joining Jordan Bonaparte and Paul Palango tonight at 9:15 to discuss the Banfield lawsuit, and other Mass Casualty Commission issues.

In this episode Paul Palango and I discuss recent updates in this ever evolving story. Specifically, we learn about the return of former police watchdog Felix Cacchione, as well Paul and I will review some historical police reports that paint another bizarre portrait of mass murderer Gabriel Wortman.

The MCC heard from Cst. Greg Wiley, who was the officer who knew Gabriel Wortman as a community contact, and had approximately 15 interactions with him in the years before the mass shooting. Cst. Wiley was granted the most unusual of accommodations by the MCC, so that the video or audio from his testimony cannot be broadcast, under threat of criminal sanction should the order be violated. Cst. Wiley showed no obvious signs of requiring accommodation, and in an attack on the media at the end of his testimony that was dripping in irony, claimed to be speaking for the families in criticizing the media for making errors in reporting. He said that he could take it, but it was unfair to them. That was a bit rich, coming from someone who literally asked for accommodations because he could not 'take it'.

In another late Friday afternoon news release, the MCC has issued a decision to ban the publication of any audio or video of Cst. Greg Wiley's testimony on Tuesday. Cst. Wiley is a key witness, having visited Gabriel Wortman 16 times over the course of a few years. This decision is unsupported by any publicly available evidence. The Commissioners have threatened to have anyone who violates the order charged criminally under s.127 of the Criminal Code. I discuss that section and what it would take for a media organization to overcome the Order made by the Commissioners.

After providing his direct testimony yesterday, Superintendent Darren Campbell was cross examined by lawyers for the participants today. Sup. Campbell was the third ranking RCMP officer in Nova Scotia at the time of the April 18-19, 2020 mass shooting, and is the first of the senior ranking RCMP officers to testify at the Mass Casualty Commission. Before Sup. Campbell's testimony began, we learned that the criminal charges against Lisa Banfield of supplying ammunition to Gabriel Wortman were withdrawn by a Crown lawyer for the NS Public Prosecution Service. The families have not been told what conditions may have been attached to Ms. Banfield's restorative justice process, which lead to the charges being dropped, but given the timing of the withdrawal, it seems clear that her appearance before the MCC must have been the main, or perhaps only, condition. I have been told that the families have been told by a lawyer for the MCC that this was not the case. It strikes me that this answer lacks credibility. It is often the case that when a matter returns to Court to be withdrawn after the completion of restorative justice, there is mention of what was done outside of the Court process as part of the RJ agreement. That should be done here, given the high profile and high stakes of this particular matter.

Two experts in forensic psychology have conducted an assessment of the RCMP's Psychological Autopsy of Gabriel Wortman, and were called upon to explain their conclusions. They were highly critical of the report, which does not adhere to the standards they would expect from a forensic psychological assessment. The RCMP's assessment is not available to view. Instead, the MCC has posted a summary. This summary does not include details on each case, but rather only the broader conclusions on the killer himself. The RCMP categorized each killing as either grievance-based, reactive, incidental, or displacement-based. They also claim that the killer's motivation was to humiliate his spouse. It may in fact have been his goal to humiliate the RCMP. The RCMP would not consider such a conclusion, however, given their vested interest in the outcome. I discuss why I think the MCC should publish the full RCMP report, commission their own assessment, and could have retained local expertise from Saint Mary's University, rather than flying in experts from Australia and Arizona.

The Mass Casualty Commission took a welcome break from academic discussion panels today to explore evidence about the finances of the killer, and to hear from an RCMP officer who dealt with the complaint from Brenda Forbes, which she described in her evidence last week. The financial misdealings Foundational Document gave a window into the degree of illegal activity in which Gabriel Wortman was engaged, while Cst. Troy Maxwell's testimony forced us to choose between two starkly different versions of a key event.

After the drama of last week, which concluded with the (unsatisfactory) appearance of Lisa Banfield, the MCC has turned back to the monotony of further discussion panels for the week ahead, with an interlude tomorrow to hear from a police witness and examine Gabriel Wortman's “financial misdealings”. The focus of today's “roundtable” was “Mass Casualties, IPV, GBV and Family Violence: Exploring the Connections”. Most of what was discussed today has been covered in previous discussions on domestic, gender-based, and family violence. Generally, the panelists support treating this violence as a something akin to a public health response, as opposed to private matters. This leads to recommendations to have more resources dedicated to housing, counseling, and financial supports, as well as a shift in public attitudes towards victims of violence. As has been the case with other panel discussions and expert witnesses, a viewer who may have somehow stumbled upon this discussion would have had difficulty figuring out that it was being held in the context of an inquiry into a specific mass shooting. Certainly, there was no reference to Gabriel Wortman, Lisa Banfied, or any other individuals involved in the events of the April 18-19, 2020 mass casualty events.

Today, more than two years after the Nova Scotia mass shooting, the common law spouse of the killer has finally spoken in public, as she gave evidence in the Mass Casualty Commission proceedings. Lisa Banfield spent 19 years with Gabriel Wortman before he went on a rampage and killed 22 people over the course of 13 hours on April 18-19, 2020. It is difficult to know what to make of Ms. Banfield. She has had two years to prepare her answers, considerable preparation time and help from her high-profile lawyer, and the benefit of knowing everyone else's versions of events before having to give evidence. On the other hand, multiple other witnesses have confirmed her accounts of having been the victim of domestic violence over an extended period of time. On yet another hand, she had no children to protect, and seemed to be enjoying a comfortable lifestyle built on criminal activity of which she must have been well aware, and now has a clear financial interest in denying knowledge of those criminal activities as she tries to retain entitlement to Gabriel Wortman's estate.

The Mass Casualty Commission today focused on Gabriel Wortman's extensive history of violence with people other than his spouse. There was a presentation of a Foundational Document summarizing Wortman's violent encounters with others, followed by a witness, Wortman's former neighbour, Brenda Forbes. Ms. Forbes knew about some key incidents of violence, and had reported Wortman to the police. Wortman appears to have been a person who routinely used physical violence throughout his adult life. With men, he would either seek out or be easily provoked into violence. With women, he was sexually aggressive and persistent in his advances. He plead guilty to assaulting a teenage boy, but received a discharge (meaning he would not have a criminal record). He would break dentures and threaten customers who did not pay on time. Brenda Forbes' testimony in part demonstrated how far people can go, and yet still not get in any trouble with the police. Ms. Forbes and her husband George both had long careers in the military, and were looking to settle down into retirement in Portapique. They built the home that they eventually sold to John Zahl and Joanne Thomas, who were killed by Wortman. He burned their home to the ground.

The Mass Casualty Commission focused its attention today on masculinity, past violence committed by Gabriel Wortman, and gender-based violence in rural Nova Scotia. Two California professors presented their research on how data in the US shows how men tend to be the perpetrators in mass shootings, there was a Foundational Document presentation on Wortman's past violent behavior, and there was an expert on family and gender-based violence in Atlantic Canada. This agenda is the beginning of a week where the MCC will focus on family violence and gender-based violence more generally. The week will culminate with Wortman's common-law spouse of 19 years, Lisa Banfield, speaking on Friday. The MCC would say that Ms. Banfield is “testifying” on Friday, but whereas she will not be cross-examined by any other lawyers, I prefer Patterson Law lawyer Michael Scott's description – that we will be getting an oral version of a statement that was given behind closed doors. I took some time to review the statements that Ms. Banfield has provided to the MCC. You may have noted that MCC lawyer Emily Hill has been publicising that Ms. Banfield has sat down for five ‘lengthy' interviews and has provided documents to the Commission. There is something slightly misleading about this statement. Listening to it, one might expect that Ms. Banfield has sat down for five sessions with Commission investigators in recent months, since having her criminal charge referred to restorative justice (which effectively means the charges have been dropped), but in fact four of those five interviews were done in the ten days following the events of the mass shooting back in April, 2020.

Nova Scotia, April 18-19, 2020 Over a period of thirteen hours 51 year old denturist Gabriel Wortman, dressed as a police officer and driving a replica police car, carried out Canada's most deadly act of mass murder. In this ongoing series Nighttime will explore the many elements of this tragic story. What happened, why it happened, and what could have been done to stop him. In this episode Paul Palango, Chad, Ryan and I will take you along for the ride to meet Rob ‘the carpenter' and to hear the stranger than fiction story of his time with Gabriel Wortman.

The inquiry into Canada's worst mass shooting has developed into a political scandal, with allegations the head of the RCMP interfered with the investigation to help push Liberal firearms policy. In notes uncovered by the Mass Casualty Commission, it appears that Commissioner Brenda Lucki demanded Nova Scotia RCMP release the types of guns Gabriel Wortman used to kill more than 20 people in advance of the rollout of new gun control measures. National Post reporter Tristin Hopper joins Dave to discuss how these notes came to light, why this is problematic for the RCMP and the government, and the inquiry itself has been faced with its own set of credibility issues.  Background reading: The Lucki affair just keeps getting worse Learn more about your ad choices.

On a day when the MCC proceedings included a technical roundtable on communications interoperability, followed by an expert witness presentation on supporting survivors, the main public focus turned to (or remained focused on) a brewing political controversy. The Commissioner of the RCMP, Brenda Lucki, has become the subject of heavy criticism following the revelation that she tried to compel senior NS-based RCMP officers into releasing the makes and models of the firearms used by Gabriel Wortman in the April 18-19, 2020 mass shootings during one of the initial press conferences. She is alleged to have done so at the direction of Prime Minister Trudeau and Federal Public Safety Minister Bill Blair. I think many people have things wrong when it comes to Commissioner Lucki.

The question mark is because you can never be 100% sure (plus from what we've been learning it may have liability absolving powers so why not harness it's legal powers).In this particular portion of the David Wilcock saga we are going to tackle David's bio as he wrote. You have never seen such beautiful literature in english before I promise. Now this may seem like an odd way to go but promise me we re building character... if you want to follow along jut check out his website. I can mostly affirm to you that that is all that I am saying in this episode. I wish I could say more but that is all we are going to do, lest we receive a cease and desist letter, which you need to know is a real possibility.This particular story revolves around so many things that you would not expect so just put those headphones on and get what you get... Sorry if it's bad we try really hard :(In the intro Chelsie discusses the most recent updates to the Gabriel Wortman story and how maybe the police gree to be buds with the mass killer.... hyperboles to be had in that sentence but surprisingly only a little.As always don't forget to follow and listen to any other episodes in our catalogue that may pique your interest.

The focus of the MCC was on the Town of Truro today, with a Foundational Document and witness discussing the interaction between the RCMP and Truro Police as Gabriel Wortman made his way towards, and ultimately through, the Town of Truro. We have heard from Chief Dave MacNeil before today, as he has been interviewed about the Truro Police role in and knowledge of the killer's movements through Truro, and the Truro Police relationship with the RCMP. Chief MacNeil has been critical of the RCMP's response, their lack of information sharing with Truro Police during the mass shooting, and their efforts after the fact to keep important information from being made public.

Gabriel Wortman was a dysfunctional man who couldn't control his anger. After a lifetime of hatred and violence against everyone he met, he went on a rampage where he killed people he knew as well as random strangers.

Continuing the focus of the week on emergency alert systems, the mass casualty commission proceedings today included two roundtable discussion panels on how best to communicate emergency alerts to the public. We also learned today that the Commission is still refusing to disclose the videos from the scene at the Enfield Big Stop when the killing spree was brought to an end, with the police shooting of Gabriel Wortman. Thanks to Coltfoots Publishing's efforts, the Commission is at least now prepared to hear an application regarding their use and disclosure.

I attended the launch event for Paul Palango's book on the NS Mass Shooting, entitled '22 Murders'. The launch was held at the Old Triangle in downtown Halifax, the pub to which the statue of Joseph Howe points from it's perch at Province House. Any journalist would be proud to be associated with Mr. Howe, and Palango is just such a fearless journalist that would have fit Howe's hopes for the future. There was a good crowd for the launch, including many people who were previously known to me more by their usernames. Jordan Bonaparte, from Nighttime Podcast was there, as was Andrew Douglas from Frank Magazine. Many from the Portapique and Onslow-Belmont areas were on hand as well. Palango did not read extensively from the book, instead choosing to highlight a certain passage and then invite the subject of the note to come up to speak. This was my first opportunity to meet Palango in person. I have had a few chances to talk with him on the phone, and before that had taken in several of his podcast appearances on The Nighttime Podcast with Jordan Bonaparte. I have also kept up on his journalism since the early days after Gabriel Wortman's killing spree. His reporting has been invaluable for me as an analyst, being detailed and specific about what he has been able to discover, and being unafraid to venture into potentially sensitive material. Knowing that I was going to be attending the launch, I finished the book itself a few days ahead of time, so I would have a chance to digest and reflect on what it contained, and of course so as to be able to converse about it at the event. Palango's writing style is very engaging, drawing you into the story from a first-person narrative perspective. It follows the author's own discovery journey to the facts, and also the perspectives of those he has interviewed, all of which helps give the reader a sense of how difficult it is to get straight answers from the RCMP. In that sense, it is also a good guide for those interested in pursuing journalism as a potential career option.

A shocking exposé of the deadliest killing spree in Canadian history, and how police tragically failed its victims and survivors.As news broke of a killer rampaging across the tiny community of Portapique, Nova Scotia, late on April 18, 2020, details were oddly hard to come by. Who was the killer? Why was he not apprehended? What were police doing? How many were dead? And why was the gunman still on the loose the next morning and killing again? The RCMP was largely silent then, and continued to obscure the actions of denturist Gabriel Wortman after an officer shot and killed him at a gas station during a chance encounter. Though retired as an investigative journalist and author, Paul Palango spent much of his career reporting on Canada's troubled national police force. Watching the RCMP stumble through the Portapique massacre, only a few hours from his Nova Scotia home, Palango knew the story behind the headlines was more complicated and damning than anyone was willing to admit. With the COVID-19 lockdown sealing off the Maritimes, no journalist in the province knew the RCMP better than Palango did. Within a month, he was back in print and on the radio, peeling away the layers of this murderous episode as only he could, and unearthing the collision of failure and malfeasance that cost a quiet community 22 innocent lives. 22 MURDERS: Investigating the Massacres, Cover-up and Obstacles to Justice in Nova Scotia-Part 2-Paul Palango

Nearly two years ago, denturist Gabriel Wortman, in a fake police cruiser and uniform, terrorized rural Nova Scotia and killed 22 people. Looking for answers, a public inquiry is now connecting the dots between how the killer evaded RCMP and the chaotic situation officers faced on the ground. For weeks, the Mass Casualty Commission has shared its findings, revealed critical documents, and gathered public testimony from witnesses. Today on Front Burner we hear RCMP testimony about how officers constantly felt a step behind the gunman – and how they eventually ended the rampage. CBC Nova Scotia reporter Elizabeth McMillan joins us to explain what happened on April 18 and 19, 2020 and what's still to come from the commission.

Have you ever looked at rocks and thought "man those are some neat rocks"? Well some of our ancestors looked at rocks and thought "man those rocks could look neater". Welcome to the world of megalithic petrosculputures (or rock sculptures for our more discerning listeners). Of course you know of some of the more famous examples of this like Stonehenge and the stone sculptures on Easter Island. Today we explore two such examples you may not be aware of that are shrouded in mystery. For those who think I got lazy in naming this episode you gotta trust me, listen to the episode... it's clever, it's good!Our first portion turns to Central America (mostly Costa Rica) where ancient inhabitants decided it was a good use of their time to cut and shape giant spherical rocks for an ancient sport know as Bo-wli-ng... At least that's the reason I assume (and the other explanations just don't cut it). Come listen to the pride of Costa Rica! (the rocks... not us... yet)We then turn our eyes to Laos where we discuss the ancient plain of jars. What this plain of jars site lacks in creative naming, it more than makes up for in mysteries and enigmas. Why did an unknown civilization build them? Why were they placed where they were? Why are they not known about? well some of these may be answered and well maybe Henry Kissinger makes a surprise appearance.In the intro we discuss updates to the Gabriel Wortman case, as per our sacred oath. And we also talk about a study you can participate in if you have psychic powers and an at home DNA test!

The final day of proceedings prior to the second anniversary of the tragic deaths featured joint testimony from the two officers who shot and killed Gabriel Wortman. They described their actions overnight and into the morning, why they went to the Big Stop, and their developing knowledge base throughout the ordeal. They answered questions well, giving thorough and coherent accounts of what took place. In their telling, the takedown has its elements of luck, but is also an example of how well prepared and competent people just seem to make their own luck. They were chasing someone, who, unknown to anyone, had very recently switched vehicles, and who was carrying five loaded firearms. They both needed gas, and stopped at the same pump. Cst. Hubley thought quickly and acted quickly, with Cst. MacLeod in support. In total, they fired 23 bullets, killing Wortman. In the early moments, Wortman turned his gun on himself and took one shot which Dr. Bowes stated would have killed him eventually as well. (This last part of information was newly released yesterday through Dr. Bowes' testimony, and expanded upon today by the officers.) Anyone watching Cst. Craig Hubley and Cst. Ben MacLeod testify today might naturally be caught up in the intense and at times emotional atmosphere in which the officers found themselves. Cst. Hubley was emotional in describing finding the McCully family dog, and the vindictiveness it would take to shoot a 20lb animal that posed no threat. Both officers took their time recounting the final moments of the rampage by Gabriel Wortman when they shot him at the Big Stop in Enfield. Certainly, having these particular officers testify at this time, prior to a long weekend, as well as the two-year anniversary of the killings, was a deliberate choice by the Commission. One might ask why these officers have been called to testify about their quick-thinking heroics, rather than having officers from the earlier portions of the narrative who have yet to testify. There are still many of them. The other question I had yesterday, and have even more so today, is why the video from the Big Stop was not shown and discussed. It was not even publicly acknowledged that there is video in existence (which there is, and which I have watched) which covers the final confrontation from several angles. The MCC has not stated whether the Commissioners have made a particular decision about playing the video.

Today's proceedings involved Foundational Document presentations about the death of Gina Goulet at her home on Highway 224, and then the final moments of the killer's life when he was shot and killed by Cst. Craig Hubley and Cst. Ben MacLeod at the Irving Big Stop in Enfield. There was also witness testimony from NS Chief Medical Examiner, Dr. Matthew Bowes, addressing both the post-mortem on Gabriel Wortman, and then later answering questions about the Fitbit data and time of death of Heather O'Brien, as well as submissions from lawyers regarding gaps in the Foundational Document presentations, and witnesses from whom they would like to hear.

The Mass Casualty Commission started Day 10 of proceedings with a witness who was able to provide evidence regarding an access road between Cobequid Court, at the lower end of the Portapique subdivision, and then there were two further presentations of Foundational Documents by Commission lawyer, Roger Burrill. These presentations covered the three killings on Hunter Road, and the death of Lillian Campbell in Wentworth. The witness was Deborah Thibeault, who lived next to the access road. This road connects the lower part of Portapique to a blueberry field, where there is a road by which it was suspected the killer escaped the community. She was able to testify about a gate that covered the access road, and which she noticed had been knocked over when she returned to her property approximately a week after killings. The essential evidence that Ms. Thibeault provided was fairly brief, though her examination lasted close to two hours. At times the questioning by Commission lawyer, Jamie VanWart, was painfully slow, and would lead me to presume that the witness had not been prepared. Such lack of preparation can be harmful for a witness in some circumstances, as it can appear that they have a poor memory, when in fact they are just not ready for certain questions. After Ms. Thibeault's evidence, there were the two Foundational Document presentations. Mr. Burrill did both presentations. The information in these presentations certainly drove home the point that had there been an emergency alert issued overnight or early in the morning of the 19th, that many lives would have been saved. The second Foundational Document presentation focused on Lillian Campbell, and how she was killed by Gabriel Wortman while out for her morning walk. The evidence suggests that the killer saw her walking, did a U-turn, and went to speak with her. He shot her from inside his replica RCMP vehicle. It would seem he was concerned he may have been known to be driving an RCMP replica, and so felt he needed to eliminate any witnesses. Again, had there been an emergency alert issue, it is highly unlikely that Ms. Campbell would have taken her morning walk, and so she would still likely be alive today. The Commission will resume hearings tomorrow with a further Foundational Document covering Highway 4, Glenholme, and Plains Road.

There were three important happenings today relating to the Mass Casualty Commission. Two of the three took place within the Commission proceedings, while the third occurred across the harbour in the Dartmouth Provincial Court. In Dartmouth this morning, Crown Prosecutors advised the Court that they were referring Lisa Banfield's criminal charges to restorative justice. She had been scheduled to go to trial later this month on charges of supplying ammunition to her spouse, Gabriel Wortman. That trial will now not take place. In the Commission proceedings itself, the day started off with a presentation from Commission Counsel, Roger Burrill, addressing the Commission's findings on the perpetrator's movements overnight, when he left Portapique and drove to Debert. Video surveillance from businesses along the route show that Wortman drove north into Debert, took a right down Ventura Boulevard, then drove into the Debert Business Park. It was there where he parked behind Brian MacDonald's welding shop for nearly six hours. The next video evidence is of him driving west on Ventura Boulevard at 5:42 AM. The final matter of significance the proceedings today was a decision by the Commissioners with respect to witnesses who will be called to testify. To their credit, the Commissioners not only returned with a decision in a timely fashion, giving it now, rather than when the proceedings come back on at the end of March, and they also approved nearly every witness that was requested by the parties. That means that Lisa Banfield, the first responding officers, all of the involved Staff Sergeants and other supervisors, as well as the commanding officers for the Province and the head of the RCMP. This was the first clear indication from the Commissioners of what ‘trauma-informed' means in the context of this inquiry. There will be witnesses, and they will be subjected to cross examination. This is a key moment not only for the families, but also for the public confidence in the MCC. The first witnesses will be called on March 28th, and they will be the three officers who were the first ones in Portapique after the initial 911 calls. Cst. Stuart Beselt, Cst. Adam Merchant, and Cst. Aaron Patton will testify together as a panel, and there will be other witnesses that week. The supervisors are expected to testify in late May, when the MCC takes a closer look at the command decisions that were made during the mass casualty.

Today we take a trip to a phenomenon which occurred in this millennia!! An event commonly known as the Norway Spiral. A grouping of streaks of light forming a corkscrew like shape over the skies of Norway in 2009 and vanishing just as mysteriously as it arrived. What was it? has it been seen before or again? let's take a listen and see if there's a good answer. We also took the time to lay out Project Blue Beam, a very common conspiracy that seems to show it's head when you least expect it. We take the time to take this conspiracy back to its roots and see what it's all about (I would tell you more but the rollercoaster is more fun without a description). In the intro we discuss the Gabriel Wortman case updates that have been coming out recently, and the flagrant cash grab the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have pushed in its wake. It is so ridiculous that you can't miss it!.... well I guess you could and your life would predominantly be unchanged, but you may always wonder what it was you missed and have to carry that with you for the rest of your life mayhaps passing it down to further generations to always wonder forever altering your gene pool... and we can't have that so lets do this.Don't forget to follow and listen to any other episodes in our catalogue that may pique your interest.

In criminal investigations and trials, it is not uncommon to see the involvement of confidential informants or police agents. Confidential informants, in particular, are commonly used as sources of information that can lead to search warrants being obtained by police for drug trafficking allegations. Police agents are most commonly used in organized crime investigations. Though any linkage has been denied, there are some emerging facts which are causing reasonable people to wonder whether the mass casualty gunman, Gabriel Wortman, had some relationship with the police, as either an informant or an agent. Wortman had a history of cross-border weapons and drug smuggling. His friend that made the RCMP decals for him has been linked with a Mexican drug cartel. While the killing spree was still ongoing, this same friend was reportedly evacuated from his home by the RCMP before children who were hiding in a basement were rescued. The RCMP called in other RCMP units rather than close by municipal police forces. Previous complaints to the RCMP about guns and domestic violence were seemingly ignored. In addition, Wortman withdrew a large amount of cash from a Brinks depot weeks prior to the shootings, in a manner that has been described as how undercover operators might behave. That has all lead some to speculate that he may indeed be an agent or informant, and that the police are just not telling us. If that is the case, the question becomes whether we will be able to find it out during the MCC hearings, or whether there is something that would allow the State to keep that a secret.

Just after 10am on April 19, 2020, with the Nova Scotia mass shooting killer still on the loose, having left Portapique 12 hours earlier and having committed further killings in the Wentworth area, two RCMP officers erroneously fired multiple shots at a fellow officer and a civilian emergency responder at the Fire Hall in Onslow. Such incidents draw investigations by the Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT), which is designed to review police shootings to see whether charges may be warranted against an officer. SIRT is civilian-led, and independent from the police or government. SIRT is now led by retired NS Supreme Court Justice Felix Cacchione, and has a team of investigators made up of former and current police officers. The SIRT report states that two officers drove up to the Onslow Fire Hall in an unmarked Nissan Altima, saw a person they thought was Gabriel Wortman standing next to a marked RCMP car while wearing a high visibility orange and yellow vest, yelled to him to show his hands, and then shot when the person instead ducked behind the police car. Credible eyewitness reports describe a situation where there was either a sudden, panicked (or at least not cool-headed) reaction to seeing someone who might be the killer, or else one where the officers were deliberately fooled into thinking it was Wortman standing outside the Fire Hall. If it was the former, these officers are in the wrong line of work, and the SIRT report is flawed. If it is the later, then there is potentially much more to uncover about Wortman's relationship with the RCMP.

Much of the information that the public may be hoping to see examined during the Mass Casualty Commission hearings is already compiled and available, but is sealed by Court Order. The ongoing battle over the disclosure of this information can give us insight into potential serious difficulties with the upcoming Commission hearings. When the police want to search any private property, they need to provide information to a Judge or Justice of the Peace that is sufficient to justify the search. This application document is called an Information to Obtain (ITO). The police are obligated to disclose all relevant information they have about the case when requesting the search, and the RCMP did just that when they applied for a warrant to search the various properties owned by Gabriel Wortman in the aftermath of the mass shootings. While, by default, the public is entitled to know what information was submitted, there are exceptions. There is a concurrent process to the search warrant request that allows the police to request that the information be sealed from public view, and only disclosed upon a successful application to have it unsealed. All of this is significant because of how it may translate into the Mass Casualty Commission proceedings. Members of the public may have presumed that all of this information, that is to say everything the RCMP did and observed during the shooting spree, would become public during the Commission proceedings. It is reasonable, therefore, to question why the RCMP and Crown are fighting this disclosure if it is going to become public just a few months anyway during the Commission hearings. The bigger concern is that it may also be the case that if the RCMP is fighting disclosure now, they may continue to do so. If this is indicative of their approach to disclosure, it may be very difficult for the Commission to get the answers the victims' families and the public are all seeking.

As you heard in our prior episode, I recently travelled to Portapique and met with Cyndi and her daughter to discuss Cyndi's past with Canada's worst mass murderer. As our conversation stretched on, it became clear that Cyndi's daughter also had a complicated relationship with the denturist and that's what we are going to get into next. In this episode of Nighttime, Cyndi's daughter will join me for a conversation about partying, a creep, a cop car, and her complicated relationship with mass murderer Gabriel Wortman.  Links: the Nova Scotia Rampage Series: https://www.nighttimepodcast.com/nova-scotia-rampage Send a tip related to this case: https://www.nighttimepodcast.com/contact Get ‘Nova Scotia Wants Answers' Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/23688277-nova-scotia-wants-answers?store_id=253457 Provide feedback and comments on the episode: nighttimepodcast.com/contact Subscribe to the show: premium feed:https://www.patreon.com/Nighttimepodcast apple podcasts: https://applepodcasts.com/nighttime Musical Theme: Noir Toyko by Monty Datta Contact: Website: https://www.nighttimepodcast.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/NightTimePod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NightTimePod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nighttimepod Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/nighttimepodcast Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/Nighttimepodcast See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode will take you to some dark places. Sex and substance abuse are the prominent themes, but ultimately we are going to hear many new and disturbing details about the man responsible for Canada's worst act of mass murder... Gabriel Wortman. The conversation you are going to hear tonight was recorded at the home of a fellow Portapique resident who had a very complicated multi year relationship with Gabriel Wortman. The relationship was largely fueled by alcohol but our guest, who is now living a life of sobriety, has a collection of memories that describe Gabriel Wortman in a way we've never heard. In this episode we are going to hear a conversation about sex, alcohol, a cop car, and a complicated relationship with mass murderer Gabriel Wortman.

Nova Scotia, April 18-19, 2020 Over a period of thirteen hours, a 51 year old denturist, dressed as a police officer and driving a replica police car, carried out Canada's most deadly act of mass murder. One of the lesser reported gunfire exchanges that happened during the Nova Scotia shooting spree didn't involve the killer, Gabriel Wortman. For reasons still unknown, two RCMP officers stopped their vehicle, stepped onto the roadside, and opened fire on the building being used as a shelter for displaced Portapique residents... the Onslow Belmont Firehall. If you are unfamiliar with this story, it's nuts, but what's perhaps MORE nuts, is that the RCMPs investigation into their officers actions seem to conflict with the civilian eye witness statement. In this episode of nighttime Paul Palango and I will attempt to answer the question "why did the RCMP shoot up the Onslow Belmont Firehall?”.

We take a look at the mass shooting in Nova Scotia that took place in April of 2020. This is the largest mass shooting in Canadian history and spans 13 hours in its entirety. We begin with a breakdown of the events that took place and left so many people dead. We then look at the perpetrator's past and some peculiarities about him. Finally we look at the RCMP and how it has acted both prior to, during, and after the mass shooting. There are a lot of questions that still require answers, but this is still a very interesting case and one you probably don't know the whole story on. Sit back, relax and give us a listen (we really appreciate it!).

Recordings of 911 calls from the night of the Portapique massacre have been leaked to the press, and they prove that the RCMP have been lying from the start about a crucial piece of information. But somehow it's the journalists that published the calls who are facing an angry public backlash. Frank Magazine publisher Andrew Douglas and reporter Paul Palango discuss their bombshell story, and what the RCMP may still be hiding about Gabriel Wortman.

GUEST: Raywat Deonandan, epidemiologist at the University of Ottawa Chapter 2: One-year anniversary of the Nova Scotia mass shooting  13 Hours: Inside the Nova Scotia Massacre is an investigative podcast and online series that explores one of the deadliest killing sprees in modern Canadian history. On the weekend of April 18-19, 2020, a gunman named Gabriel Wortman disguised himself as a police officer and murdered 22 people. He moved across the province wearing an authentic police uniform and driving a vehicle that looked nearly identical to a real RCMP cruiser. He used semi-automatic weapons that were either obtained illegally in Canada or smuggled across the border from the United States.

Just one day after Nova Scotia killer Gabriel Wortman was taken down by police, Justin Trudeau seized the attack as justification for gun control. True North's Andrew Lawton talks about Trudeau's politicization of a tragedy, and why the facts are likely to prove inconvenient for those seeking to restrict legal gun ownership. Also, a grocery store workers union wants a law restricting how often you can buy groceries, and Professor Jaclyn Schildkraut joins the show to discuss whether the media should deny notoriety to mass killers. Note: This episode was recorded before the RCMP acknowledged the Nova Scotia killer did not, as Andrew suspected, have a firearms license. Learn more about your ad choices.

A man wearing a police uniform went on a shooting rampage in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia on Sunday, killing 13 people, in the deadliest such attack in the country in 30 years. Officials said the suspected shooter was also dead.A police officer was among the dead. Several bodies were found inside and outside one home in the small, rural town of Portapique, about 100 kilometres north of Halifax. Overnight, police began advising residents of the town — already on lockdown because of the coronavirus pandemic — to lock their doors and stay in their basements. Several homes in the area were set on fire as well.Police identified the man believed to be the shooter as Gabriel Wortman, 51, who was thought to live part-time in Portapique. Authorities said he disguised himself as a police officer in uniform at one point and made his car look like a Royal Canadian Mounted Police cruiser.Wortman was arrested by the RCMP at a gas station in Enfield, just outside Halifax. Police later announced that he had died."This is one of the most senseless acts of violence in our province's history," said Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil.RCMP spokesman Daniel Brien confirmed that 13 people had been killed as had the shooter. He said he could not rule out that the death toll could still rise. Already, that makes it one of the worst shootings in Canadian history.Mass shootings are relatively rare in Canada. The country overhauled its gun-control laws after the its worst mass shooting in 1989, when gunman Marc Lepine killed 14 women and himself at Montreal's Ecole Polytechnique college. This weekend's shooting is the deadliest since then. It is now illegal to possess an unregistered handgun or any kind of rapid-fire weapon in Canada. The country also requires training, a personal risk assessment, two references, spousal notification and criminal record checks to purchase a weapon.Police have not provided a motive for the attack, but RCMP Chief Superintendent Chris Leather said many of the victims did not know the shooter."That fact that this individual had a uniform and a police car at his disposal certainly speaks to it not being a random act," Leather said. He added that police believe he acted alone.Leather said they would investigate whether the attack had anything to do with the coronavirus pandemic but no link has been found thus far.The dead officer was identified as Constable Heidi Stevenson, a mother of two and a 23-year veteran of the force. Another officer was also injured.Leather said at point there was an exchange of gunfire between the suspect and police. There were half a dozen police vehicles at the scene of a gas station where the suspect was shot. Yellow police tape surrounded the gas pumps, and a large silver-coloured SUV was being investigated.Police said earlier Sunday the suspect was driving a car that looked like a police vehicle and was wearing a police uniform, but later said he was "believed to be driving a small, silver Chevrolet SUV." They said he is not an RCMP employee or officer.Cpl. Lisa Croteau, a spokeswoman with the provincial force, said police received a call about "a person with firearms" at around 10:30 p.m. Saturday and the investigation "evolved into an active shooting investigation.""My heart goes out to everyone affected in what is a terrible situation," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said.Christine Mills, a resident of the area, said it had been a frightening night for the small town, with armed officers patrolling the streets. In the morning, helicopters flew overhead searching for the suspect. "It's nerve-wracking because you don't know if somebody has lost their mind and is going to beat in your front door," she said.Tom Taggart, a lawmaker who represents the Portapique area in the Municipality of Colchester, said the quiet community has been shaken."This is just an absolutely wonderful, peaceful quiet community and the idea that this could happen in our community is unbeliev...
