UPDATE: At least 19 people, including RCMP officer, killed in Nova Scotia shooting spree

Nova Scotia RCMP says at least 19 people were killed, including a police officer, in a shooting spree in the province.
It was the largest mass shooting in Canadian history.
Police say the 12-hour rampage began Saturday evening and lasted into Sunday morning in several different locations across northern Nova Scotia.
Constable Heidi Stevenson, a 23-year veteran of the force, was killed Sunday morning and another officer is recovering in the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The suspect, 51-year-old Gabriel Wortman, a denturist with multiple Nova Scotia clinics, died in an exchange with police at a gas station located about 35 kilometres from Halifax.
Police were first called out to a situation involving a man with a firearm Saturday night and they say at one point the suspect was dressed in what appeared to be an RCMP uniform and drove what looked like an RCMP vehicle.
A motivation for the shooting has yet to be determined, according to RCMP, and it’s not known if COVID-19 played a role in what happened.
Police say they are in the early stages of what will be a very detailed investigation and they will provide updates in the coming days.
