The common-law partner of the Nova Scotia man responsible for April's shooting rampage has launched a lawsuit against his estate. In June, Wortman's common-law partner renounced her right to be the executor of his will. "The case brought today by [the common-law partner] is her claim for the injuries she sustained [on] the night of the beginning of the massacre. If her allegations are proven true, she probably does have a legitimate claim," Pineo said. "She has an interest in the estate itself that would differ from the interests of the families," Pineo said.
