Lisa Banfield she was beaten by killer immediately before he began rampage that would claim 22 lives
HALIFAX — The common-law wife of the man responsible for the Nova Scotia mass shooting told an inquiry Friday that she lied to police about his illegal weapons and failed to report earlier violent behaviour because she was deeply afraid of him.
The common-law spouse of the man responsible for the Nova Scotia mass shooting told an inquiry Friday that she lied to police about his illegal weapons and failed to report earlier violent behaviour because she was deeply afraid of him.
Both a retired Mountie and a criminal defence lawyer involved in the public inquiry say there was "more than enough" evidence for a search warrant given three public complaints about the gunman over three years.
Truro’s police chief felt the RCMP was resistant to his force’s plans to release a 2011 warning that the gunman who went on a shooting rampage in 2020 had weapons and threatened to “kill a cop,” according to newly released documents.
