FREDERICTON - Police say a Fredericton man charged with killing four people Friday had a firearms licence - and the long gun allegedly used in the deadly shooting can be legally obtained in Canada.
Fredericton Police Chief Leanne Fitch says the long gun is commonly available for purchase, and is not a prohibited or restricted weapon.
She also says one of the officers that responded to the shooting at a north-side apartment complex was wearing a body-worn video camera.
She says the footage is part of the evidence being examined by a team of investigators.
Fitch says police officers in Fredericton are equipped with body armour and carbine rifles.
Friday's shooting claimed the lives of Bobbie Lee Wright, Donnie Robichaud, and responding officers Constable Robb Costello and Constable Sara Burns.
Matthew Vincent Raymond, 48, has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder and is set to appear in court on Aug. 27.
