Although police forces across Canada routinely use the Amber Alert for child abductions and have even utilized the emergency system to furnish details of social distancing guidelines, the RCMP sent out no such message about the shooter.
“They can use the alert to warn us about COVID and [to] separate, and I believe that’s important. But what’s more important [is that] there was like 19 lives lost,” Nick Beaton, whose wife died at the hands of the shooter, told CTV News’ Chief Anchor and Senior Editor Lisa LaFlamme on Tuesday.
