In the 12 months since a man disguised as a Mountie murdered 22 people in rural Nova Scotia, the RCMP's handling of the horrific case has come under intense scrutiny.

Through the intermittent disclosure of heavily redacted files, the RCMP and the Crown have gradually divulged a narrative that raises questions about why it took police 13 hours to stop one of the worst mass killings in Canadian history.

Last December, for example, the Crown released a partially redacted application that described what officers saw as they arrived in Portapique, N.S., to investigate complaints of shots being fired late on April 18, 2020. The Mounties, however, did not issue a public alert about the vehicle on Twitter until 10:17 a.m. the next day.

Christian Leuprecht, a professor at the Queen's University in Kingston, Ont., who specializes in police and security issues, said the shear complexity of a case is a complicating factor, given that it involves 435 witnesses and 16 crime scenes.Details regarding another key piece of evidence emerged in December when the Crown released a document that confirmed the RCMP knew exactly where the killer was when they received a 911 call from a home in Glenholme, N.S., at around 9:45 a.m.

The manhunt then took a disturbing turn when two RCMP officers mistakenly thought they had spotted the shooter standing next to an RCMP cruiser near the firehall in Onslow, about 95 kilometres north of Halifax. As the two officers got out of their vehicle and raised their rifles, one of them yelled, "Police! Show your hands!"
