On Wednesday, a Nova Scotia judge lifted some redactions in a 131-page search warrant application that was partially released in September . Investigators believe the gunman stockpiled food, fuel and cash due to concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic because he was worried institutions could collapse. The man told police he had given Wortman keys and access to his home and allowed him to collect boxes couriered there. The man told police he normally didn't open the packages, but one time he did and found a light bar meant to be affixed to the top of a police vehicle. After the rampage, he told investigators he was sick thinking that it may have been one of the guns the killer used.
