An 18-year-old, Jesse Van Rootselaar, allegedly shot her mother and step-brother before entering a secondary school in Tumbler Ridge and opening fire. Inside the school, five students and a teacher were killed before the suspect died by suicide. Witnesses reported that the suspect’s younger brother and sister attended the same school and suggested an intent to target family members, though police have not confirmed a motive. Police said there is no indication of bullying. Officials noted prior police contacts for mental health concerns and that the suspect had previously held a firearm licence and had dropped out of school years earlier.
