12 hours were taken before a gunman, who has created multiple murder scenes and remaining evasive to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and even killing one officer, wen down on Saturday in the Nova Scotia Peninsula. Nova Scotia Serious Incident Response Team (SiRT) has now taken the investigation into their own hands, and is examining the case from the head start. The RCMP identified 51 year old male by the name of Gabriel Wortman as the suspect, and he was confirmed dead by the Chief Superintendent of the organization Chris Leather.
It is known that we wore the RCMP uniform to hinder the investigation and put his victims in confusion as he carried out his plot. One of the known victims that was revealed to the press was an RCMP officer.
Initially, the first report came on 10:30 pm Saturday, “When police arrived at the scene the members located several casualties inside and outside of the home,” quoting the Superintendent.

Witness Glen Hines, while driving past the scene, heard a gunfire in the wake of the tragedy: “All I could hear was gunshots and my wife, I thought I was going to call 911, because she was going into panic, it scared her so bad,” Hines said.
Stephen McNeil, the premier of Nova Scotia, described the tragic massacre as “one of the most senseless acts of violence in our province’s history. I never imagined when I went to bed last night that I would wake up to the horrific news that an active shooter was on the loose in Nova Scotia,” McNeil said.
