Mass shooting inquiry: Commission to hear timeline of early hours of April 19, 2020

In its last sitting on Monday, the Nova Scotia shooting inquiry heard testimony from the first three RCMP officers who responded to the shooting.
The inquiry into the 2020 Nova Scotia mass shooting resumes Wednesday.
In its last sitting Monday, the inquiry heard testimony from the first three RCMP officers who responded to the shooting.
They were initially doubtful the killer was in a marked RCMP vehicle, even though a dispatcher relayed that information from two 911 calls. All three officers said they were concerned the description of the vehicle may have been misleading because exaggerated complaints to police are often made by people with mental illness.
Their testimony marked the first time the inquiry has heard from anyone directly involved in the worst mass shooting in modern Canadian history.
On Wednesday, the inquiry is expected to detail what happened in the communities of Wentworth and West Wentworth the morning of Sunday, April 19, 2020.
The inquiry will be releasing two foundational documents laying out witness accounts from that Sunday morning, and providing a detailed timeline of the sequence of events.
It will also hear testimony from Deborah Thibeault, who lived in the Portpaique area beside the road the killer used to escape.
