.....in Canada. Death toll up to 19 now. OTTAWA (Reuters) - The death toll from the worst mass shooting in Canadian history has risen to 18, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Monday, including a police officer and the gunman. “A gunman claimed the lives of at least 18 people, among them a woman in uniform whose job it is to protect lives even if it endangers her own,” Trudeau told reporters, referring to Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Constable Heidi Stevenson, who was killed on Sunday in the shooting spree in the Atlantic province of Nova Scotia. [L1N2C703Y] “It happened in small towns: Portapique, Truro, Milford and Enfield, places where people have deep roots, places where people know their neighbors and look out for one another,” Trudeau said. “Now these communities are in mourning and Canada is in mourning with them.” The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said the gunman, 51-year-old Gabriel Wortman, who worked as a denturist, appeared at one stage to have been wearing part of a police uniform. He had also painstakingly disguised his car to look like a police cruiser. www.reuters.com/article/us-canada-crime-nova-scotia/death-toll-in-canada-mass-shooting-rises-to-18-trudeau-says-idUSKBN222285We have crazy people here, too.

They're expecting to find more bodies in the houses he set on fire.

There is at least one couple missing and the police have told their son to expect the worst.
A few people who knew the shooter some how have given the standard “I wouldnt have expected this of him” responses. One neighbour of the shooter from the location where things started claims the shooter burnt down the neighbour’s shed when they had a dispute.
It’s certainly brought out the tinfoiled hat crowd. Either the shooter is a innocent scapegoat sacrificed to cover for a crazy cop or it’s a set up by Trudeau and the “liberals” to grab all of the guns or its a set up to distract from the “crappy job” governments are doing to handle the virus (which is only an excuse to crush capitalism and bring in true communism).
The sad thing is our tinfoils used to have their own conspiracies. Now with the internet they just seem to copy the US tinfoil hatters.

Funny. Liberals is in quotes because I used a common redneck slur for liberals and the system changed it.

I would retire there if they would take an old non-Canadian broad. So sorry this has happened there. We need to round up all the gun nut tin hatters, throw in Alex Jones and his Sandy Hook BS, and kick them all off the island. Bad enough for people to suffer through this kind of horror, they shouldn't have to listen to people convinced it was all faked.

I was absolutely appalled at what one former cop had posted on FB. It's so disgusting that I won't repeat it. This ass will be shunned by me.

Pretty much everywhere across a 50 km crime scene.... some in burned out buildings. He knew some of the people he killed, while others seemed to be random. they expect to find more victims.
