A couple pays their respects at a roadblock in Portapique, N.S. on April 22, 2020. The common law spouse of the man who carried out the mass shooting in Nova Scotia in mid-April is suing his estate, alleging he caused her to suffer psychological, physical and emotional injuries. In a statement of claim filed Wednesday in Nova Scotia Supreme Court, the woman's lawyer, Peter Rumscheidt, doesn't provide a precise figure for the damages being claimed. The woman says she was in a long-term relationship with Gabriel Wortman, a denturist based in Dartmouth, N.S., before he was killed by police after going on a shooting rampage April 18-19. Wortman had killed 22 people and set fire to a number of properties. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Andrew Vaughan
