The public inquiry into the Nova Scotia mass shooting that left 22 people dead heard today from lawyers representing the victims' families, who said the commission must call the spouse of the killer to testify under oath.

The commission has tabled summaries about how the first night of the killings on April 18, 2020, are thought to have occurred.

Banfield is facing criminal trial for allegedly transferring ammunition to her spouse — a case that is proceeding despite police saying she had no knowledge of her spouse's intent. But McCulloch noted that Banfield was the only person to have been with the perpetrator just prior to the start of his killing rampage, adding that there is a "lack of detail" in the interviews with the RCMP.

McCulloch said she has questions about Banfield's account that at one point, "she shed her coat while at the same time being bound at the wrist and constrained." The lawyer also said she wanted to know more about Banfield's statement to police that she was handcuffed by her spouse and yet escaped from a vehicle he had placed her in.
