There's been a story of an active shooter in Nova Scotia since very early in the morning and this is the latest:
Stay safe everyone.
Stay safe everyone.
Active shooter situation: Nova Scotia, Canada [Up: gunman dead, at least 19 victims; deadliest shooting in Canadian history] (UP 2: Death toll now 23)

They're not. The CBC story days they own properties in the area and records show they might work as a denturist.
Oh shit the guy buys old police cars and makes them look authentic? im pretty sure thats illegal here in the states. i hope he caught before people die.
edit: This is the guys car?

Unless you work in the TV/film industry, I'd say that's a pretty big red flag.
Me and many of my extended family live in the Colchester area. Not exactly the way I would have expected my home to appear on Resetera.
Update
Good stuff. Hopefully there are no fatalities and anyone injured makes a full recovery.
I read two people were killed on facebook, nothing official though. There is allot of people laying blame on the COVID 19 crises but I would imagine this guy was planning this for sometime considering the lengths he went to impersonate RCMP.
If this person wasn't white though I can only imagine how much casual racism would be tossed into the responses.

Rcmp tweet in custody
My cousin has a friend with the halifax police, he said there was 13 reported fatalities, including a female police officier. Apparently the suspect killed his own family and is suspected in setting mulitple fires in the area. I'm waiting for the RCMP press conference at 6pm atlantic standard time for confirmed details.

Whoa what the fuck.
Edit: It seems the gunman died and one RCMP Officer is dead
Damn. I used to live in Truro. Could never imagine something like this happening around there. Such a peaceful place and friendly people. Guess it goes to show you that nowhere is really safe from horrible shit like this.
Oh damn, it didn't sound that bad when I first started reading the thread.

This is insane, and not something I'd ever expect to see around Atlantic Canada.
RCMP has been live here https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/1711321155969 where they confirmed "in excess of 10 dead"
EDIT
Just updated after thread was posted, RCMP officer identified
Suspect had no known history of violence according to RCMP press conference. Police are dealing with an excess of 10 crime scenes. Number almost certain to go up.
Even since the virus started and crowds have vanished, I kept wondering when the next shooting would happen.
Guess we have our answer. This sucks. This fucking sucks.

One journalist even asked if this was related in anyway to Covid-19 and the lockdown, but it's too early to know what the shooter's motivation may have been,
I was wondering the same thing. But honestly, the virus probably stopped mass shootings, as fucked up as that sounds. Can't shoot up school when class is out. Can mow down a crowd at a bar when all bars are closed. Heck, I'm surprised grocery stores haven't been targeted. That's the kind of reality we're in.
Yeah, I don't know what this guy's intention was, but if it was to kill as many as possible it could have been MUCH worse were it not for the current lockdown.
While watching the live conference, he said the shooter was moving along northern N.S. and that's why they still don't have an exact number on the total dead/injured. They're still exploring areas he has been.
This whole thing is really sickening.
Ugh. I wonder what the motivation was for this shithead. So sorry for everyone that was victimized by this fucking unnecessary bullshit.
My grand parents live in Milford so this was extra scary to wake up too. RIP to all of the victims.
The more they revealed about the investigation the more horrifying it became. It just seems like he wanted to cause senseless mayhem.
Ah there was already a thread. I'm bad at searching, thanks for merging.
RIP to all the victims. Such a fucking shame that someone would have the gall to start this shit right now.

God, I can't even imagine what the police in that area are thinking right now. That's the last place you expect something like this to happen.
An absolute tragedy. This sort of thing rarely happens in Canada, let alone in the Maritimes.
So he was a law-abiding gun owner?
This is the part I'm most curious about, since, at least from the initial reports, he doesn't appear to have done anything that would require you to pose as a police officer.
When that detail was first made known I was wondering if he was trying to bluff his way into some location that a civilian wouldn't have had access to, or flag down motorists, or even get close to target other cops, but it doesn't seem like any of that happened.
This is horrific. Gotta be one of the worst mass shootings in Canadian history. Posing as a cop, too... all that effort means it was likely planned for a while. JFC.
Nah, it's not. This might be normalized in the US, but this sort of thing is extremely rare in Canada.

This is unfortunately now the 56th mass killing event where more than at least one life was lost, since 1689, here in Canada.

This motherfucker had way too much time, thought and preparation in doing this rampage. It's fucking unreal that he had a uniform and a police car detailed enough to do this.
The following is apparently Cst. Heidi Stevenson, back in 2015 during a moment/event with school children. She was the one who lost her life today stopping that piece of shit.
RIP to her, and those who lost their lives.

100% agreed. But it still hurts the soul, man. This should never happen. Fuck...
Absolutely. 10 dead is also incredibly high as a death toll, I feel.
This man should never leave a prison cell again.
