Nova Scotia marks 1st anniversary of mass shooting with ceremony in Truro | FULL

Global News published this video item, entitled “Nova Scotia marks 1st anniversary of mass shooting with ceremony in Truro | FULL” – below is their description.

Sunday marked on year since the Nova Scotia mass shooting, one of Canada’s deadliest mass murders, and the province and nation came together to commemorate the tragedy.

A memorial service at Truro’s First United Church included a provincewide moment of silence as the ceremony began. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also spoke, honouring the victims of the tragedy and telling family and friends: “You are not alone.”

On April 18, 2020, a gunman dressed as an RCMP officer driving a replica cruiser assaulted his common-law spouse in Portapique – a small rural community outside of Halifax – and embarked on a 13-hour shooting and arson spree.

The events of those two days would give Nova Scotia a distinction no one wanted: Canada’s deadliest rampage killing.

In total, 22 people were killed at 16 separate crime scenes as the gunman drove through backroads and rural communities.
