Gabriel Wortman (July 5, 1968 – April 19, 2020) was a Canadian denturist and mass murderer who, on April 18 and 19, 2020, murdered 22 people and further wounded another three people in the 2020 Nova Scotia attacks.
Born in Ontario to parents Paul and Evelyn Wortman, Wortman was raised in Riverview, New Brunswick. According to family members and those who knew them, the family was raised in an unstable and violent environment.[3] In 1986, Wortman graduated from Riverview High School. He had an early obsession with becoming an RCMP officer during his teenage years.[4][5][3] At the age of 19, Wortman moved to Fredericton to attend the University of New Brunswick,[6] where after initially studying to become a mortician, switched to studying to become a denturist.[7][8] According to family members, Wortman paid for his studies through smuggling alcohol and tobacco from the United States to sell to other students.[9][10][3]
