Three years after Canadas worst mass shooting, which killed 22, report will look at how it could have been prevented, RCMP response, role of domestic violence.
the worst mass shooting in Canadian history
It is a 13-hour period that traumatized a province and forever changed the lives of scores of his victims’ family members and survivors. The Portapique shootings ended that night with the gunning down of Corrie Ellison outside the killer’s burning warehouse.That’s important, because it speaks to whether he had left Portapique before — or very soon after — the RCMP arrived at the scene, or whether he left later, after police presence was established.
His first victims that day were Sean McLeod and Alanna Jenkins, 50 kilometres north in Wentworth. After killing them and setting their house afire, he killed their neighbour, Tom Bagley, as he came to help. There was one more victim — Gina Goulet — a denturist known to both the shooter and Banfield. Oddly, on an anniversary drive the previous day, before the shooting started, Wortman had pointed out Goulet’s house to Banfield.
Melanson and Brown opened fire despite having the information on the call sign and the distinctive push bumper of the gunman’s replica car and despite Gagnon’s car being positioned in such a way that both were viewable.
