Storified by CTVNews.ca · Tue, Jun 10 2014 16:00:41
Thousands attended the regimental funeral of RCMP Constables Fabrice Georges Gevaudan, Douglas James Larche and Dave
Joseph Ross. The three Mounties were shot dead on June 4 as they responded to calls about a
gunman roaming a Moncton neighbourhood. Two other officers were injured.
