A police timeline indicates that the 12-hour rampage in Nova Scotia began Saturday after the gunman assaulted his longtime girlfriend, which “very well could have been the catalyst” of the shootings that left 22 people dead, a police official said
A police time line indicates the 12-hour rampage began in the quiet town of Portapique on Cobequid Bay Saturday, when the gunman assaulted his longtime girlfriend, according to Nova Scotia RCMP Superintendent Darren Campbell.The woman escaped and hid in the woods after an assault"that very well could have been the catalyst" of the slaughter, Campbell told reporters. But investigators have not discounted the"possibility of any pre-planning at this time," he added.
The suspect shot Stevenson and took her handgun and ammunition before killing a bystander, police said. He set both Stevenson's cruiser and his car on fire. Wortman knew and targeted some of his victims and randomly shot others, according to police. His girlfriend told police of a potential list of victims he would target."We identified other family members who could potentially be at risk," Campbell said.
