CANADA - shooter in RCMP vehicle and uniform, 23 killed - Portapique, NS *suspect dead*

[LadyL]

I just saw 10 people killed!
in excess of 10?!!
omg it's unfathomable

RCMP officer killed in Nova Scotia shooting rampage was 23-year veteran with two children

 

[LadyL]

I'm wondering if his business suffered because of Covid? Perhaps people aren't ordering dentures at the moment? He is at the age when financial setbacks can be a trigger for violence.

Speculation only, without any details to go on at the moment.

I'm sure we're learn more about him soon.

jmo

dentures probably aren't considered 'essential'

If he did set those fires, one might wonder if he was trying to "beckon and ambush'' , speculation, imo.

If so, it may explain why one officer was killed and another wounded. Sounds like he planned this out, but why? It's crazy.

if reports are true about his complaints about road conditions etc., he sounds like an injustice collector to me

I read somewhere, I'll look for the link, that officer was killed and one wounded in the "capture" incident. Lemme look.

"We were right behind the police car that was on fire. There was one officer we could see on scene and then all of a sudden, he went running toward one of the burning vehicles," Sack said. "We heard gunshots."

Sack said her heart was pounding the whole time.

"I had that feeling that something was wrong with the [police officer's] partner — the way he looked. My heart went out to him," she said.

Also, 13 dead???

Yes, 13 dead and 14 if you count the shooter. I agree he was a justice collector. He apparently had it in for the RCMP over a property dispute which needed a mediator to come into the picture to placate him. I was reading on his FB page before it shut down.

 

[Bravo]

Agree

Websleuths is fact based. Please stop posting social media rumors or hearsay. If you don't have MSM or LE reports, please don't bring rumors/hearsay to the thread or state information as fact if you can't link it.

Thanks.

ETA: Corrected "do" to "don't". Big difference there, LOL

23 year veteran female RCMP officer, Heidi Stephenson / Stevenson killed *

Oh, that hurts to see. Of course any death is horrible, but such a young person and in the line of duty....

RIP, Officer

 

[Inthedetails]

Agree

Yes, I was just about to post the same assessment.

Perhaps, or distract?

Gunman kills 16 in rampage, deadliest in Canadian history

RCMP spokesman Daniel Brien confirmed that 16 people had been killed in addition to the suspect. 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.

Mass shootings are relatively rare in the country. Canada overhauled its gun-control laws after a 1989 mass shooting in which gunman Marc Lepine killed 14 women and himself at Montreal’s Ecole Polytechnique college. Before this weekend’s rampage, that had been the country’s worst.

Or planning to shoot and kill firefighters as they rushed to the fires.

 

[Kaley Smith]

17 victims now.

 

[Vern]

This my cottage country and I was relieved to learn my cousin, an RCMP officer there, is OK. He is devastated.

Now at 17 dead, including the shooter.

17 dead, including one RCMP officer, after shooting spree in Portapique, N.S.

 

[Kaley Smith]

Nova Scotia gunman shot dead after killing 17 people in ‘senseless’ and ‘random’ rampage 17 victims dead This is unbelievable.

 

[Gardenista]

Gray is working on mapping out the scenes. You might want to wait until later to view the video because he has his lives set so you can't scroll to the beginning until it's over.
