The most serious massacre in Canadian history began with a dispute between the criminal, Gabriel Wortman, 51, and his girlfriend, who survived the attack, confirmed by police last night, cited by the Associated Press and BTA.
The firearm assault, which killed at least 22 people in Nova Scotia, began with an attempt by the author to kill his girlfriend. However, she managed to escape and hid in the forest.
“This may have been the catalyst for the events,” said a police officer. However, authorities do not rule out that Wortman has planned part of the murders.
After leaving the forest, the attacked woman contacted the police and alerted authorities that the offender was driving a car that looked like a police officer and was wearing a police uniform.
The attacker was killed by police after a 12-hour assault.
Last Sunday Gabriel Wortman opened fire on a man in Portapico, a hundred miles from Halifax. The shooting continued in other settlements within a 90 km radius from Portapik. Several bodies were found in the rubble of the houses burned by the killer.
The victims include a 17-year-old girl. A police officer was also killed.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau several days ago urged relatives of the dead and the media not to mention the names and not to show images of the victims of this tragedy. However, the name of the murdered police was announced, Heidi Stevenson.
