RCMP commander in charge of La Loche response praises officers, community
The RCMP inspector who served as incident commander during the La Loche shooting is praising the many people whose actions helped save lives that day.
Sunday will mark one year since a 17-year-old boy shot and killed two brothers in a home in La Loche, before proceeding to nearby Dene High School, where he killed two more people and wounded seven others.
Insp. Teddy Munro said there were nine minutes between when the first calls came in and the arrest of the shooter.
The first officer to arrive went into the school alone and began searching the building, joined shortly afterwards by two more members, according to Munro.
