“Was the gun left there, so they’re not worried about him having a gun? Do they know he had only one gun? But that doesn’t mean he couldn’t get more guns. Doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a knife or an axe. I just find the whole thing bizarre,” the source said, adding that the incident, on the surface, has eerie echoes of Gabriel Wortman, the serial killer behind a devastating gun rampage in Portapique, N.S., in 2020, Canada’s deadliest mass killing. Wortman, who posed as an RCMP officer with a uniform and mocked up cruiser, killed 22 people; 13 were shot, and nine died in house fires.
