It appears to be at a home and set on fire. Bodies were found inside and just outside the house. This guy might of just went nuts and started killing people at a rando house.

Most likely cause someone was fucking shooting at them and they were trying to get away.

Nova Scotia has the population density of Maine and has had pretty severe travel restrictions put in place.

Restrictions that don't include requiring people to stay indoors at all times. Many public places have been closed and had those closures strictly enforced (people have been issued $1000 fines and had their cars towed from trail/park parking lots) and the border's pretty tightly locked down, but that doesn't mean people aren't able to go outside. Even more so where the community this guy started his rampage in has a population of about 100 in the off season, so it's not exactly a hotbed for disease transmission.

A lot of them were killed in their homes.

If this were in the US, i would find this bit suspicious:

"Police first announced that they had arrested Wortman at a gas station in Enfield, outside Halifax, but later said he had died. It was not clear how, and they did not explain further."

Really fucking sick that someone steals a police vehicle and acts like they're a member of the police to kill people.
This is assuming that like you said, any of this actually happened.

Subsequent reporting is saying the Nova Scotian Serious Incident Response Team was investigating, which is the police branch that's responsible for conducting an investigation of any instance in which an officer discharges their firearm. This one sounds like it's going to be pretty straightforward (armed mass murderer started shooting at the cops and they shot back and killed him), but it's protocol for at least regional police in NS (not sure about RCMP, but if it's been handed over to the local SIRT, I'm guessing it's the same) to automatically suspend any officer that fires their gun until the investigation is completed, and it makes sense that they wouldn't report anything conclusive until that investigation is done.

For people who read the infos...

The beligerant was a police and RCMP aficionado / obsessed fanboy... also, this wasn't a mass shooting in the sense of killing people in a crowd, this was one guy killing someone, setting their house on fire (some of them), stealing their car and then going after another target... ... over 12 hours

He didn't actually steal a police vehicle:

"Authorities said he wore a police uniform at one point and made his car look like a RCMP vehicle."

Since police cruisers are based on commercial models and old cars are frequently auctioned off, it really isn't that hard to make a decent fake car.

Zeus, you're pointing to a once in a lifetime event in Canada that would barely bit prime time in the States. You're killing your own point.

Gun laws don't stop active shootings in progress, they prevent them from happening in the first place.

There is more casualties that will be added to the count. There is burnt down houses in the killer's communities with the residents missing. Worst thing for me is the RCMP officer that died was married to one of my high school teachers. He's a really nice guy and I am sad this happened to his family.

  • Wortman collected mountie memorabilia, which he used to disguise himself as a police officer for shootings
It turns out that nobody needs access to a police uniform. And even retired police uniforms and memorabilia should be better maintained and accounted for and not be made available to the public.
