Chief Supt. Darren Campbell said it was crucial to keep details about the firearms under wraps as police investigated how the gunman obtained them
A day after the force’s commissioner Brenda Lucki said there was no political meddling, Chief Supt. Darren Campbell told the inquiry into the killings Tuesday he stood by notes of a conference call with Lucki two years ago.
Campbell said it was important to keep information about the firearms under wraps as police investigated how the gunman obtained the weapons. As head of support services in the RCMP’s H division, Campbell oversaw the force’s critical-incident program in Nova Scotia during the spree, which saw two officers and 20 civilians killed by a man driving a replica police cruiser.
Lucki appeared before a parliamentary committee Monday, saying that she did not urge the Nova Scotia officers to release the gun information, and that no one in government pressured her to do so. She blamed the controversy on miscommunication.
