The RCMP also shared findings about the case that contradicted earlier versions of events

HALIFAX — The gunman who killed 22 people in Nova Scotia during a 13-hour rampage was described by police Thursday as an “injustice collector” whose grudges built up over time and eventually exploded in horrific violence.

Injustice collectors “are individuals who may have felt slighted or cheated or disrespected at any point in their lives ... these injustices are held onto,” said Campbell, the Nova Scotia RCMP’s officer in charge of support services. After killing 13 people in Portapique, N.S., on the night of April 18, the killer — disguised as an RCMP officer — murdered another nine people in five communities the following day. One of his victims was RCMP Const. Heidi Stevenson, whose cruiser collided with the shooter’s replica police car near Shubenacadie, N.S.

Campbell also took exception to reports suggesting the RCMP failed to communicate or co-operate with other police forces when the killer was still at large. In addition to Stevenson, the killer’s victims included two nurses, two correctional officers, a family of three, a teacher and several of his neighbours in Portapique.

RCMP say gunman behind mass killing in Nova Scotia was 'injustice collector'Nova Scotia RCMP say the gunman who claimed 22 lives in one of Canada's worst mass killings was an 'injustice collector' whose personal grudges boiled over in rage. After what we've been witnessing in the US anti-gun advocate are fighting a losing battle. You need a gun when the police & government won't protect you from violent mobs. Some of us already know the truth... If all 5 guns he had were illegally obtained.... what the fuck are we doing taking guns from other Canadians? This is the worst case for a gun ban ever... 🐑❤gun bans Psst.... they think it 'does something'

Nova Scotia gunman was on police radar long before mass shooting, RCMP confirmA 2011 safety bulletin was erased from the RCMP’s database in 2013 – part of an information management policy that police acknowledge likely needs to change A lot of good that did. the level of incompetence shown at NS RCMP is baffling. I need to see the top brass walking out with their belongings in shame.Bustpoliceunions When, when when, are we going to have an independent investigation? So many things went wrong here.

RCMP provide more information on investigation into Nova Scotia mass shootingRCMP Supt. Darren Campbell told a briefing today that a behavioural analysis of the gunman has found some victims of his violence were targeted for perceived past injustices while others were selected at random And why did it take so long for the RCMPNS tobrelease this information? Because BillBlair and JustinTrudeau grave dancing to ban guns with no ties to this tragedy just wouldn't look right. Everyone involved in this situation are disgusting and incompetent.

RCMP to provide update today on investigation into mass killing in Nova ScotiaNova Scotia RCMP are expected to provide an update Thursday on their investigation into the mass killing in April that claimed the lives of 22 victims. They... They gonna tell us the truth though? Cuz the truth won't fit Bill Blair's narrative about the dangers of legal guns. Are they going to discuss how much they failed that community? How they could have stopped it in its tracks in 2013? I hope it includes this info. Like how RCMP knew he had illegal guns and did Nothing. Our government needs a serious overhaul because they keep giving criminals more rights than law abiding citizens. And you CTV are complacent Are they investigating their own botched actions? Or is this just another report cultivated by Blair to further a misguided agenda?
