"Canadian authorities say seven people died and more than 25 were wounded Tuesday in the shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School. Two more people were found dead at a nearby home, and a woman believed by police to be the shooter also was found dead, apparently from a self-inflicted wound. It was Canada's deadliest rampage since 2020, when a gunman in Nova Scotia killed 13 people and set fires that left another nine dead."
"Police reached the school within two minutes, British Columbia Premier David Eby told reporters. Royal Canadian Mounted Police said officers found six people dead and more than 25 wounded, including two in life-threatening condition. A seventh person died while being transported to a hospital, and two more were found dead at a residence the authorities believe was connected to the attack. A suspect appeared to have died of a "self-inflicted injury.""
"Tumbler Ridge, population 2,700, is in the Canadian Rockies, more than 1,000 kilometers (600 miles) northeast of Vancouver and near the provincial border with Alberta. Tumbler Ridge Secondary School has 175 students from Grades 7 to 12, according to the provincial government website. Mayor Darryl Krakowka called the community a "big family." "I broke down," Krakowka said. "I have lived here for 18 years. I probably know every one of the victims.""
Ten people were killed and more than 25 wounded in shootings at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and a nearby residence in northern British Columbia.

A seventh person died while being transported to hospital, and two more were found dead at a connected home. Investigators identified a female suspect who was later found dead, apparently of a self-inflicted injury, while motive and victim connections remain under investigation. Video showed students evacuating with hands raised.
