A document released by the inquiry into the 2020 mass shooting in Nova Scotia shows RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki wanted details of the firearms used in the killing shared with the public in order to raise support for federal gun control legislation. Conservative MPs say the revelation shows attempts to interfere with an investigation into the shooting.
The document, citing notes submitted by Nova Scotia RCMP Superintendent Darren Campbell, said that during a conference call on April 28, 2020, shortly after the rampage that took the life of 22 people, Lucki criticized senior RCMP managers who had refused to reveal details of the guns used in the killings.
