In a series of tweets, police said they arrested 51-year-old Gabriel Wortman who was considered “armed and dangerous.”

Nova Scotia RCMP tweeted at 10:32 p.m. EST on Saturday night that police were responding to a firearms complaint in Portapique, N.S. More than nine hours later, police said they were dealing with an active shooting investigation and warned residents to stay indoors.
The situation escalated from there as police continued to track the suspect to the communities of Glenholme, Debert and Colchester County. They warned that he may be wearing an RCMP uniform and driving a vehicle that resembles an RCMP cruiser.
The RCMP confirmed that the suspect was not an officer.
