BREAKING: A Canadian police officer is dead and another injured after shootings in Nova Scotia early Sunday, a senior police official says, and a suspect has been arrested.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers prepare to take a person into custody at a gas station in Enfield, Nova Scotia on Sunday April 19, 2020. A suspect in an active shooter investigation is in custody in Nova Scotia, with police saying several people were harmed before a man wearing police clothing was arrested. Gabriel Wortman was arrested by the RCMP at the Irving Big Stop in Enfield, N.S., about 35 km from downtown Halifax.
“Our hearts are heavy with grief and sadness today as we have lost one of our own,” said Brian Sauvé, President of National Police Federation union, in a statement. “A second dedicated Member was injured in the line of duty.” “I never imagined when I went to bed last night that I would wake up to the horrific news that an active shooter was on the loose in Nova Scotia,” Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil. “This is one of the most senseless acts of violence in our province’s history.”
Cpl. Lisa Croteau, a spokeswoman with the provincial force, said police received a call about “a person with firearms” at around 10:30 p.m. Saturday and the investigation “evolved into an active shooting investigation.” “I feel better now to know he’s in custody,” Mills said. “It’s nerve-wracking because you don’t know if somebody has lost their mind and is going to beat in your front door.”
Croteau confirmed a tweet saying there are “multiple victims” but could not provide a number or say whether any people had been killed.
