At least 10 people are killed in a shooting rampage in Canada's eastern province of Nova Scotia - police
RCMP officer Justin Buggie walks back to his SUV from another police cruiser after Gabriel Wortman, a suspected shooter, was taken into custody in Portapique, Nova Scotia, Canada April 19, 2020.
Brian Sauvé, President of National Police Federation union, said a police officer was among those killed in a shooting and another was injured. By late morning, there were half a dozen police vehicles at the scene. Yellow police tape surrounded the gas pumps, and a large silver-colored SUV was being investigated by police.
"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," Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil.He said it was an additional "heavy burden" amid efforts to contain the new coronavirus, and that police will announce further details later.
"My heart goes out to everyone affected in what is a terrible situation," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said. Tom Taggart, a lawmaker who represents the Portapique area in the Municipality of Colchester, said the quiet community has been shaken. The RCMP posted an update on Twitter just after 10:15 am, warning that the male suspect was in the Debert and Central Oslow area and may be dressed as a police officer in a vehicle resembling a police car.
