Breaking: Nova Scotia Mass Casualty Commission slams RCMP failures in response to 2020 massacre
TRURO, N.S.—The inquiry into the worst mass shooting in Canadian history has pointed a stern finger at a litany of RCMP failures and inadequacies surroundingThe Mass Casualty Commission releases its final report into the Nova Scotia 2020 mass shooting. Commissioners Michael MacDonald, Leanne Fitch, and Kim Stanton speak at the event in Truro. A gunman killed 22 victims during the April 18-19th rampage in the worst mass shooting in Canadian history.
“This information should have shaped the command decisions from that time forward,” wrote the commission in its findings. “Despite Ret’d. A/Commr. Alphonse MacNeil’s warnings about the importance of being able to track member locations during a critical incident, the RCMP failed to implement the recommendation with respect to geo-tracking Emergency Response Team members in a timely manner,” the commission said in its report.
“A systematic door-to-door search was not conducted until 19 hours after the first 911 call from the Portapique community. This is an unacceptable delay.”
