24-year-old also faces 2 counts of attempted murder
Justin Bourque, 24, has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder in connection with the fatal shootings of three Mounties and the wounding of two others on the streets of Moncton, N.B., on Wednesday.
At a court appearance today in Moncton, Bourque did not enter any pleas on the charges, and neither the Crown nor the court-assigned defence lawyer requested a psychiatric evaluation at this time.
Bourque was arrested at 12:10 a.m. AT Friday, following a two-day manhunt that involved hundreds of police officers from across the country and saw much of the city locked down.
