Almost half of those who died in the Nova Scotia mass shooting were the killer’s neighbours in rural Portapique, according to provincial records.
Nine of the victims owned homes either next to Gabriel Wortman or close by, a Global News analysis of property records shows.
The RCMP has so far said only that Wortman knew some of the 22 victims. Police were expected to provide an update on the investigation Friday.
The records are consistent with a Global News report that the killings began at a party near Wortman’s Portapique Beach Rd. home.
