MONCTON, N.B. — An independent review of shootings in Moncton, N.B., that killed three Mounties and wounded two others will be released Friday.
The RCMP says it will also respond to recommendations included in the report.
Justin Bourque was sentenced to 75 years in prison in October after pleading guilty to three counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder.
The 25-year-old labourer admitted in a statement to police that he used a semi-automatic rifle to shoot the five officers in the city's north end on June 6.
Afterwards, he fled into the woods near a suburban neighbourhood, where he was arrested 28 hours later.
Bourque killed constables Dave Ross, Fabrice Gevaudan and Doug Larche.
Constables Eric Dubois and Darlene Goguen were injured in the shootings.
