U.S. citizen Jennifer Zahl Bruland says the murders of her father and stepmother in Nova Scotia’s mass shooting led her to stop believing in the quality of Canada’s national police force.the public inquiry
Zahl Bruland’s father, John Zahl – a U.S. Navy veteran and American citizen – and his spouse, Joanne Thomas, were among the early victims in the community of Portapique, where the couple had lived in their retirement home since 2017. The oldest of four siblings, Zahl Bruland said she was surprised to learn from the inquiry that RCMP hadn’t trained its general members to respond to active shooters in outdoor, rural, low-light environments.
She noted that three officers entered the community while the killer was still in the enclave and they had gone by her parents’ house before it had been burned to the ground. “My parents are still alive when they arrived in Portapique,” she said, while adding she didn’t blame the officers for their actions.
She said it seemed “very wrong” that by contrast, the family of an RCMP officer who was killed had access to two family liaison officers.
