N.S. mass shooting gunman’s estranged brother called him paranoid and dark
After the older brother he had met for the first time 10 years earlier killed 22 Nova Scotians in 2020, a Massachusetts man described his sibling to police as paranoid and said he harboured dark thoughts.
The interview transcript published Tuesday by the public inquiry into the killings includes Samuelson’s story of meeting his biological family for the first time in 2010, 40 years after he was put up for adoption. It was Samuelson who initiated the contact at the urging of his wife.Before meeting in person in Nova Scotia, Samuelson said he spoke with Wortman on the phone a few times.
“Forty-one years old and he found this out — it pretty much severed their relationship,” Samuelson told the RCMP. “He had had enough. He hated his parents, there was deep hatred there,” he added.
