The above article states 18 killed but apparently that number has been updated to 22.
My biggest problem with all this besides the obvious carnage and death of innocents...the media are jumping all over this like hounds. The police (to my knowledge) at this time have not even revealed what type(s) of weapons were used. They have refused to say whether legal or illegal weapons were involved and even if this psycho was a licensed gun owner to start with. Then there is the M.O. here, the psycho was wearing an RCMP uniform of some fashion and had mocked up a cruiser to boot...talk about bizarre.
Word on the street is that there is possibly an RCMP member in his family. Also, hearing unconfirmed reports that he beat several people to death while on his rampage of shooting and burning. Someone even alluded that he may have pulled several people over with his cruiser and executed them...I can't say for sure. It will be sometime before all the details come out.
Anyway, given there are at least 16 crime scenes that I'm aware of, I understand the slow role out of information as there must be volumes to be sorted already. I truly hope this sick, sick SOB was not a licensed gun owner and hope he obtained his arms illegally....I pray it's not the other way around.
This is going to be a pivotal moment in our gun control history here.....I am very nervous.
A few days ago I would have said I think we're in the clear this time around due to Covid-19...saved by the bell so to speak. But not now....not at all.
Edit: for clarity.
