Erin Breen, a St. John’s lawyer representing Halifax non-profits the Avalon Sexual Assault Centre and Wellness Within, along with other advocacy groups, provided a brief history of the actions of the killer, Gabriel Wortman, from 2010 to 2013, that were known to police.
“If we start first by looking at the threat investigation in 2010, despite very specific and reliable information about this threat to kill his parents and then Paul Wortman’s information about the firearms, there is no real action taken,” Breen said during Mass Casualty Commission inquiry submissions delivered Friday at the completion of two weeks of documentary, witness and roundtable evidence on the subject of intimate-partner and gender-based violence.
“The matter is referred ultimately to the perpetrator’s friend, (RCMP) Const. (Greg) Wiley to determine if the perpetrator has access to firearms,” Breen said. “The file is closed after police speak to the perpetrator and he denies that he has firearms.”
