HALIFAX—The public inquiry into Nova Scotia’s mass shooting is continuing today, with evidence expected to detail how police first responded to the killings in Portapique, N.S.

Michael MacDonald, the commission’s chairman, reminded the public in his opening remarks that the federal-provincial probe is at the stage of trying to confirm the facts of what happened on April 18-19, 2020, and it’s likely that participants in the inquiry will have further questions.
