HALIFAX - Documents released Thursday describe tense and tragic moments as RCMP officers and then distraught family members arrived at the scene of brutal killings during the second day of the 2020 Nova Scotia mass shooting.
Heather O’Brien and her Victorian Order of Nurses colleague Kristen Beaton were both shot in their vehicles along the same stretch of road in Debert, N.S. on April 19, 2020. One of O’Brien’s daughters arrived on the scene within minutes, and believes she was still alive when RCMP officers told her to leave.
