Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers surround a suspect at a gas station in Enfield, Nova Scotia, Sunday April 19, 2020. Canadian police say multiple people are dead plus the suspect after a shooting rampage across the province of Nova Scotia. It was the deadliest shooting in Canada in 30 years.
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 wore a police uniform at one point and made his car look like a Royal Canadian Mounted Police cruiser. Mass shootings are relatively rare in Canada. The country overhauled its gun-control laws after gunman Marc Lepine killed 14 women and himself at Montreal’s Ecole Polytechnique college in 1989. Before this weekend’s rampage, that had been the country’s worst.
“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.
Canada is the perfect home for all terrorists!
Is it just me or does this make no sense!!! Who is this guy and why did he do what he did? Why isn't there any info on this guy Why wasn't there an Amber alert
I don’t understand. For years I’ve been hearing - we are Canadian- we are peaceful. The USA is evil. Maybe stop throwing shit over the fence and clean up your side !
Adults are a product of their childhood ..obv damaged beyond repair
At least Gun control works on controlling law abiding Canadians.
He probably stole the vehicle at a local garage, found uniforms and assault rifles in it then decided to go on a criminal rampage. The Queens cowboys would never admit this so.. Should be tracking devices in all patrol vehicles. He definitely did not build one...
Saddened to hear of these awful events. God bless the victims and family's involved. 🍁
Sadly the death toll is at 22. It is surreal to think this happened here. It still doesn't quite feel real.
Trudeau ignores it was a 12 HOUR shooting spree! WHERE WERE THE POLICE!!!? Canadians are only allowed to own hunting rifles ... No one could have defended themselves...
If they were practicing social distancing and stay home.....but start whining about Trump, gun laws, and what other dumbass things....may you all get corona .... its at your local liquor stores!
It took me 5 seconds to see the blame Trump card play...... got to stop going fullretard !!!!
Is there any actual footage ?
Way to go, you finally got on the scoreboard. Lets build on it.
Was this young male into death metal?
19 now dead

How could that happen? Guns are illegal in Canada. How odd.
KIRO7Seattle The amount of stupid comments on here is unbelievable.
levanoff And why did gunman do it?
this is terrible to hear we, in the USA, know exactly how bad this feels 🇨🇦
Omg 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Americans if you are reading about this mass shooting and you ask the majority of Canadians you will never get us to agree to unlimited weapons for us! Most of us do not want the access to guns like you have! We look at this shooting as an isolated incident of 1 crazy!
😕
Horrendous terrible
Horrible
AgtOceans Gun-control fail: 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.
lookner Pfft. that's just another day in the USA.
But, but Canada has strict gun laws!!!!!
Dodie609 My first thought was - did a ‘merican cross the border? So sorry this happened, Canada❤️
This is heartbreaking 😞

Quarantining is hard
I am praying for all Nova Scotia right now! Families of all victims are in my prayers tonight. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 this is unspeakable. My heart is 💔 broken. NovaScotiaStrong
Canadian Hero- RCMP Constable Heidi Stevenson RIP
Is he American? If so, I'm incredibly sorry one of our domestic terrorists exercised their Second Amendment rights on innocent Canadians. My deepest condolences. 💔
My heart breaks for Nova Scotia. Such a beautiful, peaceful and good hearted province. StayStrong
😢
I thought they don’t allow people to own guns
Where did he get his weapons? Who sold them to him?
Wow! Those are USA, pre-coronavirus numbers! Must be getting more free up there.
I really hope the investigation reveals a motive. We need to know why this monster did this. 🇨🇦🇨🇦❤
So sorry 🇨🇦. Heartbreaking
Fake news, Canada has common sense gun laws...
Wait for the real news and stop speculating. In Canada (Nova Scotia) must have PAL, POL license for basic possession of firearm, does not permit public carry unless specified. FAC phased out 1995. One must have license to posses gun and buy ammo. NO ARs No 22s Many other models.
I'm so sorry Canada. 💔 Thinking of everyone in Nova Scotia.
And they will do something about it by next Friday.
okay you say 16 headline on the picture says 13 anybody?
I suspect the shooter had mental health issues and that the isolation because of the pandemic quarantine caused him undue stress which caused him to commit this act. I wouldn't be surprised if we see more incidents like this.
SheWhoRises Sending blessings to y’all from Texas. I stand with you in your sorrow.
Ppl who get laid don't carry massacres. Shoot cum, not gun
They have trump supporters up there too huh
But Gun Laws RIP to the innocents
To be fair, they live in Canada.
Sad that those 16 died from Coronavirus...
Horrific news. Sending prayers of support and for healing to the great people of Canada during these extremely trying times.
Math ....

ANTHONYBLOGAN It’s funny most of the mass shootings happen and in states or some countries with the strictest gun control laws
😪
he's a terrorist. call all white gunmen as terrorists, because that's what they are.
Covid-19 ramifications!
Must be a chump supporter
Looks like things are getting back to normal.
People is mad as angry because mad people is in charge playing as follows: Negotiation Deal Cut Increase Penalty Sanctions & all the Racketeering People is expressing themselves violently in protest. It seems they measure damage because another damage is equal & they are right...
Please don’t turn like the USA! I’m sorry for your loss.
ANTHONYBLOGAN Everyone needs to be armed. Then evil people can be shut down quickly.
ANTHONYBLOGAN The Democrats will be screaming gun control once again because they love to make a crisis political
Prayers and heartfelt sadness to families that have suffered from this senseless violence
What exactly is this guying doing? He obviously can’t see anything through that window tint, right?
I’m old enough to remember when Canadians would NEVER do anything so American.
Wow blacks...AMazing.
Ban guns! Already banned. Nevermind.
😢😢😢😢
That's just a Tuesday in America
Amid this pandemic someone had time to plan such rampage. I have no words. Saddening
Here come the nationalists
💔😭🙏🏼
My heat goes out to the families, I'm so sorry for your losses.
Did he kill them for not social distancing?
😭💛
Sorry guys.
I wish we could say that here. At least there were no school shootings in America this month🤷♀️
😢
16 now? Good lord
Cue smart comments from “conservatives” about guns.
Oh my god, this is horrible. I’m so sorry, Canada. 💔
Trump's USA caused this
Must’ve been an American
Oh god, like there’s not a lot off death at the moment
Show the bodies.
That blows.
Orange Corona Apocalypse
This is not who we are as Canadians. Please send prayers to Nova Scotia ❤️🇨🇦
