New documents released Monday by the commission leading the public inquiry into the April 18 and 19, 2020, shooting rampage detail how the gunman created the replica cruiser, gathered other police paraphernalia like uniforms and equipment, and who knew about them.
The Mass Casualty Commission has ruled on the issue of whether senior and front-line RCMP officers as well as the gunman's partner can be called to testify in public.
The RCMP says it's reviewing its procurement processes for items that could be used to impersonate an officer after CBC News found a federal website offered detailed instructions on how to outfit a police vehicle. The site had been visited by the Nova Scotia man who went on a shooting rampage disguised as a Mountie in 2020.
