HALIFAX -- The moment the man responsible for Canada’s worst mass killing was shot and killed at a gas station in Enfield, N.S. on April 19, 2020, his rampage of terror ended – but a year of grief and questions began. Here are some of the key moments that have taken place since that day.
Sunday, April 19, 2020 Nova Scotia RCMP hold its first news conference on the tragedy at its headquarters in Dartmouth Sunday evening. “Today is a devastating day for Nova Scotia and it will remain etched in the minds of many for years to come,” said commanding RCMP officer Lee Bergerman.

Nova Scotia's police watchdog has cleared the two RCMP officers who shot at a fire hall in Onslow, N.S., during the hunt for an active gunman last April, saying the Mounties had reasonable grounds to believe a man outside the hall, which was being used as a shelter, was the killer.
