At least two people, one of them a police officer, were killed on Sunday in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, about 130 km north (80 miles) of the capital Halifax, after a gunman went on a 12-hour rampage.
The accused gunman – named in local media as 51-year-old Gabriel Wortman – is one of the dead. Police had arrested Wortman after a car chase earlier in the day on suspicion of shooting several people, whose conditions they did not specify.
