It's a small village, not far New Brunswick.
At least 10 dead, including one RCMP officer.  Another officer is injured. The perprator apparently stole his uniform/coat to flee or commit more murders.

Too early to talk of motives or anything else.  The shooter was found dead not long ago.

Give us a picture of the killer and we can make wild speculations about the motives.

Yeah, pics! Pissed off white guy or beardy weirdy brown guy?

[Barrister]

Details are still coming out.  Fatalities are now 13.

Weirdest part is this guy was dressed as a RCMP officer, had a car marked as a RCMP vehicle.

Shooter was a wealthy denturist from Nova Scotia.

At least the asshole is dead.

First time I have seen the word "denturist".  I put it into google translate.  The Chinese translation is the same as the Chinese term for "dentist".

Someone who makes dentures. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denturist

See, he doesn't look like a psycho.

Motives are unclear, at least some of the victims were randomed.

On the news this morning, they didn't say he had a RCMP car, but that he had "a car ressembling a RCMP vehicle".  It's weird.  Makes me think he bought a regular car and painted it to the colours of a police vehicle.   

[Grey Fox]

He did.

[merithyn]

He did.

So very planned? As in, at least a week or more in advance.

The car and uniform certainly were planned.  Whether or not this spree was planned - we don't know.  Still very light on details.  Reporters obviously are not on the ground working the story so we're stuck waiting for official announcements about what happened.

According to what I read, the guy was "into" RCMP memorabilia. He deliberately went out and bought ex-police cars. He painted one up to look like the real thing.

He allegedly had a police uniform as well.

He had plenty of cash to fund his hobby - allegedly, he was a reasonably wealthy denturist. He made the news a while ago, in a philanthropic way - he provided free dentures to someone who lost their teeth due to some severe cancer drug therapy.

So, outwardly at least, a pillar of the community type, with maybe an eccentric interest in police stuff. Allegedly, he wrote in his school yearbook he wanted to be an RCMP officer ...
