Both say in their evidence they witnessed multiple dead bodies when they initially responded to the murders in Portapique, N.S., and they believed Wortman was determined to continue killing. According to the records, Hubley stopped in Enfield, N.S., for gas, noticed blood running down the forehead of a man inside a car at the adjacent pump, and called out to MacLeod, “Benny it’s him,” causing the ERT officer to move quickly out of the car with his carbine.
In a statement, Hubley says that he started firing as Wortman raised a “silver-coloured pistol” in his direction, and MacLeod told a public inquiry investigator that he believed the killer held an “RCMP general duty pistol” stolen from an officer killed earlier in the day.
