"The outburst brought to Canada the type of mass shooting more common in the neighbouring United States, and was carried out by a shooter described as female, police said. Six people were found dead inside a high school in the town of Tumbler Ridge in British Columbia, two more people were found dead at a residence believed to be connected to the incident, and another person died on the way to hospital, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said."
"'We will get through this. We will learn from this," Carney told reporters, at one point looking close to tears. "But right now, it's a time to come together, as Canadians always do in these situations, these terrible situations, to support each other, to mourn together and to grow together." Carney said he had ordered flags on all government buildings be flown at half mast for the next seven days."
A mass shooting occurred in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, at a high school and another location, leaving at least ten people dead. Six victims were found inside the high school, two at a residence linked to the incident, and another died en route to hospital. At least two people sustained serious or life-threatening injuries and up to 25 others received non-life-threatening treatment. A suspected shooter, described in a public alert as female wearing a dress with brown hair, was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted injury. Police said there are no other suspects and no ongoing public threat. Prime Minister Mark Carney ordered flags at half mast and urged national unity.
