Corporal Craig Hubley said he was disturbed by the indiscriminate nature of the violence he was seeing, and the shooting of a family pet gave him some insight into the mind of the killer
Two Nova Scotia RCMP officers described the aftermath in a rural community where a mass shooter began his attack two years ago as worse than anything they’d encountered in their careers. But it was the sight of an injured dog that stuck with Constable Craig Hubley.
Constable Hubley said he was disturbed by the indiscriminate nature of the violence he was seeing: multiple murder victims, burned homes. The shooting of the family pet gave him some insight into the mind of the killer police were after. The RCMP officer told the inquiry he thought of that dog, and the killer’s many human victims, hours later when he confronted the gunman at an Irving gas station in Enfield, N.S. When the gunman, seated in a stolen car, began to raise a silver pistol in his right hand, the RCMP dog handler began shooting.
When he and Constable MacLeod pulled into the gas station at 11:24 a.m. to refuel, he said, he noticed a man wearing a white T-shirt, sitting in a grey Mazda at a pump across from the pair’s police SUV. Both officers testified they started shooting when they saw the killer raise a silver-grey gun – a weapon he’d stolen from Constable Stevenson.
