This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Police were told the gunman responsible for the worst mass killing in Canadian history was driving a look-alike RCMP cruiser almost 12 hours before they alerted the public, according an unsealed warrant released Tuesday by a judge in Nova Scotia.
Police, however, didn’t alert the public the killer had a convincing-looking RCMP vehicle until 10:17 a.m. the next morning, sharing for the first time, via Twitter, that the gunman may be driving a vehicle that looks like an RCMP cruiser and wearing what appears to be an RCMP uniform. Before he was shot and killed by police at a gas station north of Halifax on April 19, the gunman had killed a total of 22 people, evading officers for hours in a mock RCMP police car, which he abandoned and lit on fire after a collision with a police vehicle near Shubenacadie.
