School and Home Shootings in British Columbia Leave 10 Dead, Including Shooter

A devastating shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia has resulted in multiple fatalities and injuries. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police reported eight deaths at the school, including a female suspect who apparently died from a self-inflicted injury, with two additional victims found at a nearby home. Over 25 people were injured, with two suffering life-threatening conditions and airlifted to hospital. The small community of Tumbler Ridge, with just 2,700 residents, is in shock. Mayor Darryl Krakowka described the incident as devastating, noting the community's close-knit nature. The motive for the shooting remains unclear, and authorities are still investigating the connections between the shooter and victims. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney expressed his devastation, suspending his planned travel to express solidarity with the affected community. Local pastor George Rowe, who once taught at the school, emphasized the profound emotional impact, stating that walking through the school's corridors will never be the same.
