A senior Mountie testified he would have liked to have seen quicker warning that shooter in Nova Scotia was driving a replica RCMP cruiser.
Chief Supt. Darren Campbell made the comment during testimony before a public inquiry looking into the events of April 18-19, 2020, when a 51-year-old gunman drove the mock patrol car around the province, murdering 22 people.
The inquiry has heard that the commander delegated an officer to have communications staff alert the public about the replica vehicle shortly after 8 a.m. on April 19, but the tweet providing the information only went out at 10:17 a.m.We apologize, but this video has failed to load.In his second day on the stand, Campbell, who led the investigation into the mass shooting, faced cross-examination from lawyers representing 14 of the 22 victims’ families.
Asked if the care of families met the minimal level of care, Campbell responded, “I would say ‘No’, because if it was good, there would be no complaints,” he said.
