Three days after the attacks that killed 22 people in Nova Scotia, police discovered $705,000 in cash folded in tinfoil and crammed into ammunition containers amid the rubble of the gunman s burnt cottage in Portapique, N.S., according to search warrant documents.
On April 18 and 19, the 51-year-old denturist went on a shooting rampage and killed neighbours, friends and strangers while driving in a decommissioned police vehicle he had adapted to look like an RCMP cruiser. During the rampage, he burned three homes belonging to people he killed, attacked his spouse and shot two men who survived.
