A Nova Scotia Mountie has testified that a single glance from a bloodied driver was the final confirmation that he had a mass killer lined up in his pistol sights. Discretion is advised.
He told the inquiry in the “quarter second” after he emerged from his truck, his suspicions were particularly aroused by the man seeming to be unaware that blood was running from a bump on his head.
Hubley told the inquiry he was “100 per cent” sure it was the killer, and called to MacLeod, “Benny, it’s him,” as he lined the killer up in the sights of his pistol. He recalled at that moment, the killer, “looked at me,” and it “confirmed” the person in the car matched the pictures he’d seen that morning.
Both Hubley and MacLeod testified they started shooting when they saw Wortman raise a silver-grey gun with his right hand. The inquiry heard that in the seconds that followed, Hubley fired 12 bullets through the passenger window, while MacLeod, who came out of the SUV at roughly the same time, fired 11 rounds with his carbine.
