Canadian police says that 16 people were killed in a mass shooting in Nova Scotia. The perpetrator, identified as 51 year old dentist called Gabriel Wortman, was wearing a police Mountie uniform for a portion of the killings, which helped him avoid the chase.

One policewoman was killed in the massacres that were carried throughout Sunday over several towns. The attacker also set a number of buildings on fire, before himself being killed by the police.

The motive is still not clear, but it is determined that the first victims were targeted and that latter – attacked randomly.
