A memorial was held Monday for the four Mounties killed in the line of duty on a rural property outside Mayerthorpe .

On March 3, 2005 , officers Peter Schiemann , Leo Johnston , Anthony Gordon and Brock Myrol were called to investigate a farm near the town northwest of Edmonton .

They were ambushed as they walked into a Quonset hut and gunned down with high-powered bullets from a semi-automatic military assault rifle by owner James Roszko .

“Lot of things have changed with how we do certain tactics and all that, how we cover things,” Hill said. “Our tactical medical program evolved significantly. “Importantly, we need to learn from tragedies like this and modify our approach in the future as well.” — with files from The Canadian Press .
