Re: Nova Scotia Shooting/shooter.
Unfortunately there are protocols to be followed along with chains of commands.
Allegedly the 1st 911 call came in at 2226 (1026 pm) AT reporting sounds of gunshots. Officers would have responded and communicated what they had found, observed etc etc. Comms Centre would have had an individual in charge and I suspect an on call Duty Officer to contact should the situation become more involved. Nobody knows when this should or could have occurred but even that duty officer would be reporting to someone else. At some stage it would have been known that an active shooter situation was in process so more people become involved. Should a Province wide alert have been issued and when? All questions to be asked but how answered remains to be seen.
Damned if they do and damned if they don't plus a whole host of other things now being brought up. Were enough staff on duty etc etc.
I am so glad I am not the RCMP officer facing the press when they give the updates and question time?

Tragic event and lessons to be learnt but will they?

Re: Nova Scotia Shooting/shooter.
It is the sort of response I would expect from a traumatized and grieving group of people. I guess even news reporters are feeling the pain of the situation.

New details have been emerging, and will no doubt continue to as investigators piece together where he went and what he did. They didn't know he was impersonating a police officer until they found his girlfriend the morning after.

Re: Nova Scotia Shooting/shooter.
Just got an emergency alert about shots fired in Hammonds Plains/ Tantallon areas of Halifax. They are telling people to stay inside. I wonder if they are being over cautious now with the alert system.

Re: Nova Scotia Shooting/shooter.
Canada can be slow when it comes to communication, I had received an email that Canada/US border would see restrictions on travel 24 or so hours before Canada announced and confirmed it.
I am getting more frequent updates and details about whats going on in Canada from the US Gov't than I am from Canada.

Nova Scotia Shooting/shooter
Hi
interesting that reports are coming out that
he did not have a gun licence
and the guns were from the USA
( except for the one/s taken from the police officer that was shot )
So a very hard situation to control
except maybe
increase cbsa border controls/ inspections
or
get doctors to report everyones medical heath
cheers

Re: Nova Scotia Shooting/shooter.
Having a doctors report wouldn't have done anything in this case if he got the guns through illegal means.
