A man wearing a police uniform went on a shooting rampage as he drove around the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, killing 13 people, including a police officer.
Officials said the suspected shooter was also dead.
Several of the dead were found inside and outside one home in the small, rural town of Portapique, about 100 kilometres north of Halifax.
Police began advising residents of the town - already on lockdown because of the coronavirus pandemic - to lock their doors and stay in their basements.
Several homes in the area were set on fire as well.
Police identified the man believed to be the shooter as Gabriel Wortman, who was thought to live part-time in Portapique.
Authorities said he disguised himself as a police officer in uniform at one point and made his car look like a Royal Canadian Mounted Police cruiser.
