Police heavily criticized in Nova Scotia mass shooting inquiry.

An inquiry into the deadliest mass shooting in Canadian history has criticised police for failing to act quickly to prevent casualties. The 3,000-page document outlines recommendations that call for a fundamental change to Canada's federal police force to prevent a similar mass casualty event from occurring in the future. It criticises the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) for failing to act on previous red flags related to the gunman, its lack of preparedness for a mass-casualty event, its response to the shooting and the police's communication with the public during and after the shooting.
