Three RCMP officers killed in the line of duty were remembered Tuesday in Moncton as thousands of their fellow police officers joined loved ones and grateful citizens to say goodbye.
RCMP pallbearers carried the flag-draped coffins of the slain officers – constables Fabrice Georges Gevaudan, Douglas James Larche and Dave Joseph Ross – into the Moncton Coliseum.
