PORTAPIQUE, Nova Scotia: A gunman in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia killed more than 10 people, including a policewoman, during a 12-hour rampage, authorities said on Sunday , in the worst act of mass murder the country has seen in 30 years.

"Today is a devastating day for Nova Scotia, and it will remain etched in the minds for many years to come," Lee Bergerman, commanding officer of the RCMP in Nova Scotia, told reporters. The slain policewoman was an RCMP officer. Mass shootings are relatively rare in Canada, which has tighter gun control laws than the United States.Police said they discovered several bodies late on Saturday after being called to a disturbance in the small Atlantic coastal town of Portapique, about 130km north of the provincial capital, Halifax.

Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil said it was"one of the most senseless acts of violence in our province's history."
