RCMP confirmed Monday that at least 19 people are dead after a lone gunman's rampage, leaving families and communities across Nova Scotia devastated.
Chief Supt. Chris Leather said at a news briefing Monday afternoon that some but not all of the victims were known to the gunman.
Leather said officers are currently at 16 crime scenes spread across Portapique, N.S., and other nearby communities.
He said there were five structure fires and so far they have been unable to fully examine these crime scenes, as most of them are residences and there may be victims still within the remains of those homes which burned to the ground.
