Nova Scotia experienced a horrific tragedy over the weekend when 19 (and possibly more) people in Portapique were gunned down by a man disguised as an RCMP officer in what is now the deadliest attack in Canada's history.

It wasn't long after news broke that the world knew the name of Constable Heidi Stevenson, a 23-year RCMP veteran and mother of two. She died while responding to the shooting.

A member of the Nova Scotia Teachers Union (NSTU) Lisa McCully was also a victim.
