CNN's Paula Newton, live in Ottawa with all the breaking details. This is terrible, Paula.</s>PAULA NEWTON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Oh, gosh, John. Just incredible what Canada is waking up to this morning. I mean, John, this is a bucolic, small-town Canadian scene. You know the kind of place. Leave your front door open. It was an absolute reign of terror for more than 12 hours. Police started getting 911 calls late Saturday night. They say they arrived at a property, found several victims already dead, both inside and outside a property. But then what happened next, they started to see fires all over that property and then were getting more calls of fires throughout the community. You're talking several dozen miles away. The suspect, a lone gunman, apparently, Gary [SIC] Wortman, 51, a businessman. They started that manhunt all over the community. As they did not really know what they were going into, in a lot of these different crime scenes. They told people to lock down in their homes. John, they were already locked down, right, because of coronavirus. They were told to barricade themselves in their basement. Add to that the information from police that he may -- the suspect may or may not have been wearing some type of an RCMP, a police uniform. Plus, could have been in a police cruiser. This all ended some 12 hours later at a gas station. He was gunned down by police but not before, you know, quite a tragedy had ensued up and down those country roads. There will be so many stories of heartbreak in the coming hours. But right now, the most profound, Heidi Stevenson. END
