Brenda Forbes said that in the summer of 2013, she told police about reports that Gabriel Wortman had held down and beaten his common law spouse behind one of the properties he owned in Portapique

Domestic violence is being examined as a key aspect of the mass shooting, as police have said the rampage began on the night of April 18 after the gunman argued with his common law spouse and restrained and beat her before she managed to escape into the woods.He went on to kill 22 people and burn a number of homes before police shot and killed him outside a gas station in Enfield, N.S.

She said that in 2013 she learned Wortman had been seen hitting his partner behind one of his properties. “From what I got from the RCMP, because would not put in a complaint, as she was scared to death, they basically said, ’There’s not much we can do. We can monitor him but there’s not much else we can do,’ ” she said.

“He knew I had weapons, being in the military, so he was always one of those guys who had to show others that whatever they had, he had something better,” George Forbes said. Wortman showed him firearms, including pistols and a rifle, in the garage, he said.

Uh-oh... more RCMP and Bill Blair lies... Wanna know why they have not told you what guns he used? I stil want to know how a fully armed assault team 'happened' to be at the same gas station...

Jeeez 🙄

Just remember, they reported them to the same police that took 13 hours to stop him. The same police that want you entirely dependent on them for defence.

Quote.“We reported that to the police also,” he said. Police have said the gunman didn’t have a licence for his weapons. Wow..just shaking my head,and the Feds response is to impose a ban. How about a complete overhaul of the RCMP. JustinTrudeau BillBlair

It’s just easier for the police to take legal weapons… and leave the illegal ones alone I guess.🥺
