HALIFAX -- Nova Scotia RCMP say the gunman who claimed 22 lives in one of Canada's worst mass killings was an "injustice collector" whose personal grudges boiled over in rage.
The RCMP briefing, the first in more than a month, also disclosed that the police officer killed on April 19 exchanged gunfire with the killer, Gabriel Wortman, after colliding with the replica police vehicle he was driving. Police say they have confirmed that three of the five firearms in the gunman's possession had been obtained illegally in the United States, one was obtained illegally in Canada and the fifth was taken from Const. Stevenson.
Investigators have yet to reveal key details about the shooting rampage, which started late on April 18 and continued for the next 13 hours across northern and central Nova Scotia.
