Many question are being asked about this entire case, including now the possibility this guy was helped. It took hours to alert the public after the first shots were fired. Here is a guy, running around in an authentic RCMP uniform and vehicle, shooting people and lighting homes on fire and the usual Emergency Alert which is used in many cases, didn't come, even though the Premier says they were ready but were waiting for the RCMP to go forward with it.
Toronto police also dropped the ball some time ago where they didn't alert the public for weeks after a psychiatric ward patient who had already murdered someone, snuck out of his facility (and subsequently flew back to China somehow). Like most activities they hide (such as the Toronto cop brothers who beat a guy with a pipe and this kid lost his eye. The brothers father is a higher up in the TPS who was allegedly encouraging police to NOT send the SIU in, since the attack was while off duty and in another jurisdiction to Toronto...what?!), it had to be leaked through media sometime after for anyone to know.
We are now up to 22 victims and counting as they work through 16 crime scenes.
The RCMP in Nova Scotia knew it had a murderous gunman on the loose Saturday night but failed to warn local residents about the threat to their safety through the provincial emergency alert system.
It's a decision that has friends and family of some of the victims wondering if their loved ones would be alive now if they'd been warned about an armed killer at large in Colchester County.
"I feel strongly about that. I do feel if we had received an alert, an amber alert, we've had COVID-19 alerts ... then many people might have been spared," said Heather Matthews, a longtime walking partner and neighbour of Lillian Hyslop.
Hyslop was killed Sunday morning in the Wentworth area, roughly eight hours after the shooter had killed people in Portapique, a community 40 kilometres to the south.
Matthews and her husband took a different path on their walk that morning, avoiding the roadway and a provincial park that had been closed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The two heard what sounded like a gunshot a few hundred metres away but assumed it was a hunter and kept walking.
They said they didn't even realize there was a gunman on the loose until they got home and a friend called to warn them about the activity overnight in Portapique.
