We'll hear from Supt. Darren Campbell, Officer in Charge of Support Services for Nova Scotia RCMP.
He's expressing condolences to their families.
He says there are no sidewalks or street lights in Portapique.
"They did not have the benefit of the knowledge I'm about to share with you. The initial complaint was a shooting."
The first in Portapique Saturday night, the second is in Wentworth/Glenholme/Debert on Sunday morning, and the third is in the Shubenacadie/MilfordEnfield area.
He said it looked like a police vehicle, and said it was driving toward the beach.
Police say there were 7 locations with victims and some were already on fire.
Police say the suspects home and garage was on fire by the time they determined who the suspect was.
Police say they issued a BOLO (be on the lookout) bulletin to all police forces in the province.
In this area the suspect killed two men and one woman and set the home on fire.
Note that these details are about to get very grizzly.

Morrison was waiting for Stevenson on Highway 2. When a vehicle approached, he thought it was her.
It was actually the gunman. He opened fire.
The gunman also shot and killed passerby who had stopped and stole their vehicle.
He went to another home in the area and killed another victim who was known to him, before heading to the Enfield Big Stop where he was finally apprehended.
The tip line they've set up is 902-720-5959.
"There seems to be a trail of people who had problems with Mr. Wortman" say RCMP.
"If this individual exists, I would ask them to come forward," he says.
This concludes today's presser.
