At least 19 people are dead after shooting spree in Nova Scotia

During the early hours on Saturday morning, a 51-year-old dentist by the name of Gabriel Wortman decided he’d play the angel of death.

He grabbed his bag of weaponry, got into his car, drove up to his victims’ homes, and cut them down one by one.

Eighteen souls were sent through Heaven’s Gate on that fateful day, while the other soul, number nineteen, was pulled down into a pit of darkness where only the sound of silence can be heard.

Number 19 is the human Gabriel. Within 12 hours of his cowardly actions, RCMP officers cornered him off at a local gas station.

Still thinking that he had the power of life and death in his hands, the human Gabriel raised his weapon and pointed it at the men and women in blue. They, in turn, pointed their weapons at him.

The officers, I must say, showed great constraint while dealing with the unbearable emotion of losing one of their own, a mother of two and wife named Heidi Stevenson, as well as not knowing whether another one of their officers, Chad William Morrison, would make it through the night.

“Drop it! Put the gun down! Put your hand ups,” were the commands the officers gave the human Gabriel. He, however, did not heed their warning. Still believing that he was Gabriel the angel of death, himself, the human Gabriel fired upon the officers who, in turn, fired a rain of bullets into him.

A question many are asking is, “Why would an educated man bring hell to a town that many considered heaven on earth?”

Here, he is living a dream life in a nice town and in a nice home. And to those who knew him, he was as sweet as pie.

“He was a little bit different, like I’m a little bit different, but he was beautiful and he had a really deep heart,” is what TV host and comedian Candy Palmater told Stephen Cooke of The Chronicle Herald.

Yet, for some reason or another, the human Gabriel decided to wield a weapon of death in order to bring about the worst mass shooting in Canadian history, since the Ecole Polytechnique Massacre in Montreal that sent 14 souls on.

The only answer I can come up with is that the human Gabriel is no different than those like him who made the ill-fated decision to play God.

He’s really an empty vessel who learned how to veil his true identity with acts of kindness. And the act of kindness the human is known for is his providing free dental work to an impoverish cancer survivor, named Sheri Hendsbee, whose cancer medication caused her to lose all of her teeth. “My heart went out to her. There’s so many ways for people to get dentures, but it seems like people who really need them are the people who are getting left behind,” is what the human Gabriel told CTV News about his act of kindness.

Fortunately for the 18 souls who’ve made it through Heaven’s Gate, they won’t have to suffer through the pain and agony of looking upon their murder’s face because none of the human Gabriel’s acts of kindness will be enough to get him into one of God’s many mansions.

His acts of kindness, however, coupled with the ultimate sin of killing his fellow human beings are enough to get him a room in the deepest part of hell’s basement where everything is muted.
