A dentist dressed as a police officer driving around in a fake police cruiser shot and killed 16 people as he went on a 12-hour rampage shooting across Nova Scotia. It’s probably safe to assume that this man went insane because of the virus lockdown and just decided to start shooting people.
A gunman in Canada posing as a police officer has killed 16 people after a 12-hour shooting rampage across Nova Scotia in the worst act of mass murder the country has seen in modern times.
Several bodies were found inside and outside one home in the small, rural town of Portapique, police said, and several homes were set on fire. Bodies were found at other locations and one police officer was also among the dead.
Officials said the gunman, named as 51-year-old Gabriel Wortman, died after shooting people in several locations across the province. By Sunday night, the death toll had risen to 16, plus the gunman, who died during a standoff with police. Authorities believe he may have targeted the first victims before going on to commit random attacks.
Authorities said Wortman was driving what appeared to be a Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) car and was wearing a uniform but later reported he was at the wheel of a Chevrolet SUV that had been modified to resemble a police vehicle – “one that he has basically made himself”, said Brian Sauvé, president of the National Police Federation. Police have said the suspect was not an employee or officer with the RCMP.
RCMP Commanding officer Lee Bergman said on Sunday evening: “Today is a devastating day for Nova Scotia and it will remain etched in the minds of many for years to come.”
The prime minister, Justin Trudeau, speaking to reporters in Ottawa, deplored what he called “a terrible situation”.
Mass shootings are relatively rare in Canada, which has far tighter gun control laws than the United States.
RCMP Chief Superintendent Chris Leather said: “We believe it to be one person who is responsible for all the killings and that he alone moved across the northern part of the province and committed what appears to be several homicides.”
Sauvé said a police officer was among those killed in a shooting and another was injured.
This is the largest mass shooting in Canadian history and it isn’t even huge news because of all this virus hysteria going on.
It was definitely quite the happening though. Not only did he shoot a bunch of people dressed as a police officer but he was setting fire to people’s cars and doing all sorts of damage along the way.
He had quite the police cruiser. Definitely very authentic-looking.
So much for gun control laws though. Anybody who says that gun control is some magic formula to eliminate mass shootings is a fool. Canada has some of the strictest gun control measures you could implement and it did not stop this.
I think it is clear that none of this would have happened if it wasn’t for this extreme lockdown. I’m sure we’ll know more specifics in the coming days but I think it was absolutely triggered by it in some form.
