The suspected gunman impersonated a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer during a manhunt before he died, authorities said.
A 51-year-old Canadian man killed at least 10 people and led authorities on an hours-long manhunt on Sunday, during which he impersonated a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer, authorities said.
The RCMP first responded to what they initially described as a firearms call Saturday night to a residence in Portapique, a community of about 100 people in Nova Scotia. When police arrived on the scene, they found several victims inside and outside of the home, but they could not locate the suspect.
RCMP Chief Superintendent Chris Leather said police were led to multiple sites in the area, including buildings that were on fire, as they searched for the suspect overnight and into the morning. Police later identified the suspect as Gabriel Wortman and said he appeared to have fled the area in what looked like an RCMP car and uniform.51-year-old Gabriel Wortman is the suspect in our active shooter investigation in #Portapique. There are several victims.
