Editing Gabriel Wortman (section)

=== Portapique ===
The shooting began in Portapique, where Wortman lived.  Wortman was at a party with his girlfriend when the two began arguing. When they went home, he assaulted her and tied her up, but she escaped to the nearby woods.  Wortman then burned down his house and returned to the party armed with several guns.  There, he shot and killed seven people.

Wortman then roamed around the neighborhood, killing six more people and burning down two more homes.  He killed some in their homes and others outside.  When first responders arrived, they found thirteen people dead, one man injured, and Wortman himself gone.  He probably evaded roadblocks by driving through a field.
