In April 2020, a gunman posing as a police officer went on a shooting spree in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia.
It left 22 dead, including a pregnant woman, a primary school teacher, a 17-year-old teenager and a police constable. A public inquiry is now looking into how Canada’s worst mass shooting unfolded.
First-hand accounts from responding officers, as well as witnesses and experts, have helped paint a picture of a “vindictive” gunman who methodically killed his victims, sometimes setting their homes ablaze and shooting their pets.
But despite the details from their statements, the joint federal and provincial inquiry has left many questions unanswered at the halfway point of its public investigation.
