Monday’s decision by the commissioners of a public inquiry into the mass shootings in Nova Scotia in 2020 overturned their earlier decision to protect the videos from publication. The five videos from various security cameras at an Irving Big Stop gas station in Enfield, NS, were recorded when RCMP officers killed the gunman on April 19, 2020, ending a 13-hour outburst that claimed 22 lives.

The story goes on under the ad Hubley’s pistol reverses as he fires and moves toward the front of the gunman’s car. Const. Ben MacLeod, a member of Hubley’s emergency response team, meanwhile stepped out of the passenger side of the vehicle, moved to the front of the police vehicle and fired his carbine into the front window of the killer’s vehicle.

There is a short rocking motion inside the Mazda and then, a moment later, a hail of bullets coming from Hubley breaks the Mazda side window. The MacLeod rifle comes in a matter of seconds and makes a lot of holes in the front window. The five videos were released by the Mass Accident Committee accompanied by a warning about what they depict. The commissioners wrote in their decisions that they initially decided to publish only snapshots from the video due to the possibility of re-injuring those affected by the mass shootings, but many media outlets disputed the decision. “We urge the public to keep in mind that whenever photos and videos related to the mass victim are discussed or reported on a public forum, the people depicted and their families are affected and for some it is traumatic.” says the decision. In the video showing the Mazda windows shattering, there are also shots of other members of the emergency response team arriving within six minutes, breaking the driver’s window and pulling the killer’s body to the sidewalk, where they surround him and examine him for a little him.
