An organized protest group gathered in northern San Diego County on Sunday afternoon to demonstrate against what they call the local government’s overreach in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. The protest, held in Encinitas, about 25 miles north of San Diego, came less than a week after the City Council closed the Coastal Rail Trail and the pedestrian portion of South Hwy 101 to "ensure compliance with the order for social distancing. Crista Anne Curtis, who organized Sunday's protest, told Fox News the move was frustrating because the area lacked sidewalks and the trail was the only way to get around. She also said that the trail had gotten busier since Encinitas closed its beaches, but the city has not experienced an increase in coronavirus cases. Law enforcement officers were present at Sunday's protest to ensure demonstrators were practicing social distancing. Officials said they issued no citations.

A gunman disguised as a police officer shot dead 16 people in Canada Sunday after going on a 12 hour rampage, shooting his victims in their homes and setting fires. It was the deadliest such attack in the country's history. Officials said the suspected shooter, Gabriel Wortman, 51, is also dead. Sources told CTV News that the gunman was killed by police. Several bodies were found inside and outside one home in the small, rural town of Portapique, about 60 miles north of Halifax — what police called the first scene. A police officer was among those killed. Bodies were also found at other locations. Authorities believe the shooter may have targeted his first victims but then began attacking randomly. Among the dead is Royal Canadian Mounted Police member Const. Heidi Stevenson, a 23-year member of the force and a mother-of-two. Two to three others were injured and are being treated at a local hospital, including another Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer.

Wortman's deadly rampage lasted 12 hours as he went around Nova Scotia in a police uniform killing people, with his victims appearing to be random, police said. They also confirmed at one point he was driving what appeared to be a police vehicle. The tragedy ended shortly before noon local time, when police said Wortman was located at a gas station around 60 miles south of where the shootings occurred. Police did not clarify the nature of Wortman's death, but photos showed several armed officers surrounding a car at a gas station and a body was later taken from the scene. So far, police have not released a motive or explained how Wortman was able to obtain the police uniform or car that resembled a police vehicle.
