In Wednesday's sitting, the inquiry investigating the Nova Scotia mass shooting revealed new details from the early morning hours of Sunday, April 19, 2020.
The inquiry into the 2020 Nova Scotia mass shooting resumes Thursday.
The Mass Casualty Commission is expected to focus on the Glenholme area and Debert, N.S., which the killer passed through during his rampage.
The inquiry will also hear about the deaths of Kristen Beaton and Heather O’Brien.
In Wednesday’s sitting, the inquiry revealed new details from the morning hours of Sunday, April 19, 2020.
The morning after the gunman murdered 13 people in northern Nova Scotia, the RCMP were unaware that he had resumed his killing until frantic 911 calls started coming in from two locations shortly after 9:30 a.m.
Two documents released by the inquiry made it clear that as day broke on April 19, 2020, most Nova Scotians were unaware of the mayhem that had begun the night before.
More to come.
