ENFIELD, Canada — A man wearing a police uniform went on a shooting rampage in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia on Sunday (local time), killing 13 people, in the deadliest such attack in the country in 30 years. Officials said the suspected shooter was also dead. A police officer was among the dead too. Several bodies were found inside and outside one home in the small, rural town of Portapique, about 100km north of Halifax. Overnight, police began advising residents of the town — already on lockdown because of the coronavirus pandemic — to lock their doors and stay in their basements. Several homes in the area were set on fire as well. Police identified the man believed to be the shooter as Gabriel Wortman, 51, who was thought to live part-time in Portapique. Authorities said he disguised himself as a police officer in uniform at one point and made his car look like a Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) cruiser. Wortman was arrested by ‘SENSELESS’ ATTACK AMID A PANDEMIC: Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers prepare to take a suspect into custody at a gas the RCMP at a gas station in station in Enfield, Nova Scotia, on Sunday (local time).
