A gunman, passing himself off as a Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), killed 16 people during a 12-hour shooting rampage. This took place in Nova Scotia, Canada. The RCMP caught up to him. A firefight resulted when they met, killing the gunman.<\/p>\n
More from The Daily Wire:<\/span><\/p>\n “The chaos began when police were first called to a property around 10:30 p.m. Saturday in Portapique, a seaside town about an hour and a half’s drive north of Halifax,” CNN says. “When police arrived at the scene the members located several casualties inside and outside of the home,” the head of the RCMP told the network.<\/p>\n “RCMP were led to several crime scenes miles apart beginning in Portapique and stretching about 60 miles to Enfield, where the suspect was found,” the RCMP added.<\/p>\n Authorities have no identified a motive for the shooter, who contained the murders largely to the town of Portapique. Although some of the victims are related to the shooter, authorities say, others appear to have no connection at all to the man, leaving officers mystified. It seems he began shooting in a subdivision close to his home but moved on to targeting victims “at random,” per police.<\/p>\n The suspect was dressed as a RCMP officer and, at one point, may have been driving a mock police vehicle though authorities say he did switch cars in the middle of the rampage, likely to throw off authorities searching for him across the 6o-mile range.<\/p>\n “This is one of the most senseless acts of violence in our province’s history,” Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil told media at a press conference on Sunday. “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.”<\/p>\n Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau echoed his sentiments and promised to “be with” the community of Portapique.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Thanks to Cameron for the link<\/a>, which provided additional detail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
