  1. How Did He Obtain The Uniform.?. Did He Have a Gun License.?. What Kind Of Gun Did He Use.?. Why Was There No Emergency Alert Alarmed Immediately Over Cellular Devices.?.

    1. Well it really isn’t that difficult to obtain a police uniform. I’ve seen them before in China town thrift stores.

    2. So instead of going after illegal guns coming from the states, they will try and take vetted PAL holders property. Makes sense. …

    1. Apparently 95000 users of twitter account of n s rcmp in a province of a little more than 900000

  2. This going to be lawsuits that’s what I’m hearing from the victims who you are totally avoiding

  3. 12 to 13 hours in and not even any alert Twitter is not our alert system in Nova Scotia a great tragedy made worse by police incompetence

  4. If there was ever a time to use the emergency system , this most certainly would have saved lives. Big Thanks to the RCMP who shot him though

  5. Very pathetic, like a school child giving a half assed elaborate excuse as to why they didnt do their homework

  6. Twitter really??? Not everyone uses it. This should have went to first responders and sound a fire alarm and broadcast it town to town. Radio would have been better. 12 hours

  7. What a Joke. “We announced it on Twitter”…dude not everyone is glued to a 6 inch screen at all times waiting for the RCMP….correction ok they’re glued to a 6 inch screen at all times, but not for RCMP business…and honestly? If you’ve not been banned from Twitter yet, you must have the most milquetoast of opinions. like an assembly line. Twitter is for the Twits

  8. Who ever was in charge should face jail time as there actions or lack of could have saved lives ! Pathetic !! Twitter ? seriously that alone deserves punishment
