Chief Supt. Chris Leather today agreed that the term ‘firearms call’ mischaracterized the reality and didn’t conform with RCMP policies requiring police to provide the public with accurate information
The Mountie who was among the first to tell the public about the 2020 mass shooting in Nova Scotia testified today that some of the early descriptions police provided were not “consistent” with the reality of what had happened.
Commission lawyer Rachel Young asked Leather about language he used at news conferences and in press releases, including his comment during the first news conference on April 19, 2020, that the RCMP had responded to a “firearms call” the night before. Three days later, Leather said at another news conference that he was “very satisfied” with the early messages sent by the RCMP.
