		</div><p>Canada’s worst mass shooting started as a domestic dispute between the gunman and his girlfriend, who survived the attack, a police official has said.</p>
<p>The official confirmed to The Associated Press that the weekend rampage in Nova Scotia erupted after an argument between the pair.</p>
<p>The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said more details would be provided at a news conference on Friday.</p>
<p>Police have said 51-year-old Gabriel Wortman acted alone in waging a shooting spree that killed at least 22 people across northern and central Nova Scotia.</p>
<p>There are 16 crime scenes in five different rural communities throughout the province.</p>
<p>The suspect was shot to death on Sunday morning, about 13 hours after the attacks began.</p>
<p>Several bodies were found inside and outside of one house in the rural town of Portapique, police said.</p>
<p>Bodies were also found in four other communities, and authorities believe the shooter targeted his first victims but then began attacking randomly as he drove around.</p>
<p>Police have said Wortman carried out much of the attack disguised as a police officer in a vehicle marked to seem like a patrol car.</p>
<p>They say he shot people in and around their homes and set fires to homes in Portapique.</p>
<p>Wortman, who owned a denture practice in the city of Dartmouth, near Halifax, lived part time in Portapique, according to residents.</p>
<p>Atlantic Denture Clinic, his practice, had been closed the past month because of the coronavirus pandemic.</p>
<p>Authorities said Wortman did not have a police record, but information later emerged of at least one run-in with the law.</p>
<p>Nova Scotia court records confirm he was ordered to receive counselling for anger management after pleading guilty to assaulting a man in the Halifax area on October 29, 2001.</p>
<p>Mass shootings are relatively rare in Canada.</p>
<p>The country overhauled its gun control laws after Marc Lepine shot 14 women and himself to death at Montreal’s Ecole Polytechnique college in 1989.</p>
<p>Before the weekend rampage, that had been Canada’s worst mass shooting.</p>
