There has been a mass shooting in Nova Scotia, 13 killed (so far), including an RCMP officer, Heidi Stevenson (mother of 2, and 23 years on the force - she was well known throughout N.S., as she had been seen on TV, also known as a public relations media spokeswoman). Another RCMP officer was wounded and is in hospital. Starting yesterday night, people were killed in various small rural communities throughout the middle of N.S. (an area of which I am familiar, having travelled through it) - a place where people don't lock their doors at night, and are real friendly. The suspect was a fairly well-known denturist (51 yrs. old), owning various properties. He was also killed. The odd thing about it was that he had been wearing something like an RCMP uniform, and driving a vehicle that he had disguised as an RCMP cruiser. I had been watching the news, and earlier today, they were broadcasting to look out for his cruiser, something he had likely also heard about; and then when he was found, he had changed cars. Police have no idea why he did all this, as yet. As this is an RCMP investigation (unlike American investigations), we will have to wait until the RCMP has finished their investigation to know all the details. One of the worst mass shootings in Canada.
