It’s the seventh week of the public inquiry into the worst mass shooting in the country’s history.
A gunman killed 22 people in northern Nova Scotia over two days in April 2020.
This week is focused on the actions of police who fired at a man, who turned out to be an emergency measures official, outside a rural fire hall and those who killed the gunman at a truck stop to end the rampage.
On Monday, the Mass Casualty Commission will hear from Onslow Fire Chief Greg Muise, Deputy Chief Darrell Currie, and Richard Ellison, whose son Corrie Ellison was killed by the gunman and who was at the fire hall when police fired on it.
The commission will also present documents on events at Onslow Belmont Fire Brigade Hall and in Shubenacadie.
The inquiry is set to break Tuesday, before resuming again Wednesday and Thursday.
The commission will call Dr. Matthew Bowes, Chief Medical Examiner for Nova Scotia, who will detail the medical examiner’s reports for Heather O’Brien, a victim who family members say was left to die by police.
Dr. Bowes will also speak to the medical examiner’s report for the killer.
The inquiry will also call RCMP members Craig Hubley and Ben MacLeod, the men who shot the gunman at the Enfield Big Stop, ending the two-day massacre.
After this week’s proceedings, the inquiry will break for another week, resuming on April 25.
