PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF NS SHOOTER CALLED INTO QUESTION

Authors of a psychological assessment commissioned by the RCMP didn't back up their conclusions about the gunman in Nova Scotia's 2020 mass shooting, according to two researchers appearing in front of the inquiry investigating the tragedy Friday.

In the months after Gabriel Wortman's rampage in April 2020, an RCMP's team — including in-house profilers and an RCMP forensic psychologist — attempted to understand his state of mind at the time of the shootings and identify any behavioural patterns.

In June of 2020, RCMP Supt. Darren Campbell revealed some of the initial finding of the 'psychological autopsy,' calling the gunman an injustice collector — someone who held onto perceived insults until he "boiled over into rage."
