In all, the police said, the shooter killed eight people; they had earlier given a mistaken death toll of nine. They also said she had shot and killed herself.Mr. McDonald said that the suspect, Jesse Van Rootselaar, was biologically born male and began transitioning to female six years ago. He added that the police would continue identifying her as a female. He said that the authorities were not yet able to say why the suspect had carried out the murder spree, one of the worst in Canadian history.Ms. Van Rootselaar and her family were known to the authorities, Mr. McDonald said, adding that the police had last visited the home in the spring for mental health issues that included self harm.\u201cPolice had attended that residence on a number of occasions over the last several years dealing with concerns of mental health with our suspect,\u201d Mr. McDonald said, referring to the home where the suspect\u2019s mother and stepbrother were found dead. On one of those occasions, he said, \u201cfirearms were seized.\u201dHe added that the police, who arrived at the school while the suspect was still shooting, had recovered a long gun and a modified handgun from the scene.The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said on Tuesday afternoon that nine bodies had been recovered: those of six victims and the suspected shooter at the local secondary school, and two others at the private residence.In addition, the police said, two people were severely wounded and airlifted to a hospital, where they were in critical but stable condition. Officials had earlier said at least 25 people were wounded, but the police clarified on Wednesday that 25 people were assessed for possible injuries, but the majority were not physically hurt.\u201cThis morning, families in Tumbler Ridge British Columbia woke to a different world,\u201d Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Wednesday, speaking in Parliament. \u201cParents, grandparents, brothers, sisters began this day as their first day on earth without someone they loved dearly.\u201dSwitching to French, Mr. Carney, who teared up earlier speaking to reporters, said, \u201cparents in Tumbler Ridge sent their children off to school on Tuesday, and some will never be able to hug their children again.\u201dPierre Poilievre, leader of the Conservative Party and of the parliamentary opposition, said: \u201cNo parent should ever have to fear that their child will not return home from school. No parent should ever bury their own child.\u201dThe Royal Canadian Mounted Police said the suspect died of a self-inflicted wound.The scale of the shooting is devastating for the remote town of just 2,400 people, on the eastern flank of the Rockies, where few people are strangers. Tumbler Ridge boomed and then declined in the last century along with the local coal mining industry, and has been attempting a comeback based on outdoor tourism.\u201cIt\u2019s a town of miners, teachers, construction workers, families who have built their lives there, people who have always shown up for each other,\u201d through recessions, wildfires and other crises, Mr. Carney said. \u201cTumbler Ridge represents the very best of Canada: resilient, compassionate and strong.\u201dHere\u2019s what else to know:Canadian leader: Mr. Carney suspended his planned travel to Germany, where he was scheduled to give a speech Friday at the Munich Security Conference, an annual global defense and foreign policy forum. Messages of support and condolences poured in from global leaders.Royal reaction: King Charles III, who is the head of state of Canada, issued a statement on Wednesday together with his wife, Queen Camilla: \u201cWe can only express our deepest possible sympathy to the families who are grieving the unimaginable loss of their loved ones and those awaiting news from hospital,\u201d they said.Rare mass shooting: The violence in Tumbler Ridge was the second mass casualty event in British Columbia in the past twelve months, but a rare mass shooting for Canada. The deadliest in the country\u2019s history took place in Nova Scotia, in 2020, when a gunman killed 22 other people in multiple locations, then killed himself.Show moreFeb. 11, 2026, 5:41 p.m. ETFeb. 11, 2026Sara HarowitzReporting from Tumbler Ridge, British ColumbiaImageThe secondary school in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, that was the scene of a mass shooting, on Wednesday.Credit...Jennifer Gauthier\/ReutersTumbler Ridge, British Columbia, was a stunned town on Wednesday, plucked out of its quiet existence and struggling to absorb that it had become a focus of international attention as the site of one of Canada\u2019s worst mass shootings.On a bitingly cold, windy but sunny afternoon, residents were embracing in the town center, and wiping away tears.

At a nearby tree, people left bunches of pink and yellow flowers, and stuffed animals in a makeshift memorial.The second crime scene, the home where the police say the suspect, Jesse Van Rootselaar, 18 killed her mother and 11-year-old stepbrother, was surrounded by a single strip of yellow police tape, while a police officer kept guard.In the front yard lay evidence of a family life that will never be the same: a small bike on its side, and a red wooden dollhouse.Show more\n \n \nFeb. 11, 2026, 4:57 p.m. ETFeb. 11, 2026Vjosa IsaiReporting from TorontoThe province has declared Thursday a day of mourning and canceled an event, called a throne speech, that formally opens the new session of provincial parliament in Victoria, British Columbia.

Students with good attendance are sometimes allowed to work on their own vehicles, and one student went to the parking lot to fetch his car.He instead came back saying he heard gunshots outside, Mr. Noronha said. About two minutes later, the school\u2019s principal, Stacie Gruntman, came to the door of the shop, shouting \u201cLockdown!\u201dThe shop is far from the school\u2019s main entrance and the principal\u2019s office. Mr. Noronha said he and 15 students locked the hallway door and the two garage doors that opened into the school yard. Two metal benches were used as barricades.\u201cWe were in the safest part of the school,\u201d he said in a phone interview. \u201cIf someone tried to break in through the hallway door, we would run to the yard through the garage doors.\u201dMr. Noronha said he kept his eye on a large wall clock in the shop. His class stayed in the garage for more than two hours until police officers knocked on the garage door and escorted them to the school\u2019s recreational center.It was not until Mr. Noronha reached his home around 7 p.m. that he learned of the extent of the violence. It was the third deadliest shooting in Canada\u2019s history. Seven people were found dead in the school, including the suspected shooter, according to the authorities. Two other people were found dead in a local residence and another person died while being transported to a hospital, the police said.The shooting has shaken the residents of Tumbler Ridge, a remote town of 2,400 people in northeastern British Columbia. Mr. Noronha said he has taught auto mechanic and wood shop at the high school for two years, after moving there from his native Brazil in 2022 to be with his wife, a Tumbler Ridge resident.\u201cThis is a hunting town. Everyone has guns here,\u201d he said.\n \n \nThe police have not provided the identities of the suspected shooter and the victims, and they have also not commented on the shooter\u2019s motive. Officers were still notifying the victims\u2019 families, Premier David Eby of British Columbia said in a news briefing on Tuesday night.Students and staff were held in the recreational center as the authorities conducted a head count, Mr. Noronha said. A shelter-in-place order for the town was lifted at 6:47 p.m. and parents were allowed to pick up their children.The school district has closed both Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and Tumbler Ridge Elementary School for the rest of the week. Provincial authorities said trauma counselors would be sent to the town to support the community.\u201cI\u2019m quite calm, but I still don\u2019t know how many students were hurt,\u201d Mr. Noronha said.

In the subsequent years, the federal government has gradually widened its gun reform project, announcing a freeze on handgun sales and expanding the list of firearms covered under the initial ban.The police have not released any information about the firearms used in the Tumbler Ridge shootings on Tuesday, or how the suspected shooter came to obtain them.By far the most contentious part of Canada\u2019s firearms reform has been a multimillion-dollar gun buyback program targeting owners of \u201cmilitary-style assault rifles,\u201d which include a wide range of long guns and rifles, like those used to hunt animals.The gun buyback has been a politically divisive issue in Canada, where firearm ownership is already strictly regulated.Handguns are the most common type of firearm used in crimes, according to federal data. In cities with higher rates of gun violence, the vast majority of firearms linked to crimes are traced back to the United States.Gun owners and lobby groups have criticized the buyback for putting an undue emphasis on rifles, which are an essential part of life in many rural areas. They are common on Indigenous reserves where the hunting of animals like caribou and moose is an important source of food and community engagement.Some of the critics come from within Prime Minister Mark Carney\u2019s Liberal government. Gary Anandasangaree, Canada\u2019s public safety minister, was heard in September last year criticizing the program in a leaked audio recording, in which he said the police do not have enough resources to enforce the buyback.Several police forces and the national postal service have refused to participate in collecting firearms under the buyback, citing either safety concerns or staffing constraints.There are roughly 1.3 million registered firearms in Canada, according to federal police data.Show moreFeb. 10, 2026, 11:47 p.m. ETFeb. 10, 2026Vjosa Isai and Yan ZhuangImageThe Tumbler Ridge Secondary School on Wednesday.

It is so remote that cellphone service cuts out about 30 seconds into a car ride out of town, said Danielle Roscher, the owner of a local outdoor tour company.Against that backdrop, the attacks that unfolded on Tuesday are even more unsettling, she said. \u201cIt just doesn\u2019t even seem real.\u201d\n \n \nTumbler Ridge Secondary School, where the shooting occurred, has 160 to 175 students, according to the websites for the school district and provincial government. Because of the school\u2019s small size, there is a \u201ctremendous sense of community\u201d between staff and students, the district\u2019s website said.In addition to the secondary school, the town has just one elementary school and one college, according to the town\u2019s official website.Tumbler Ridge was once a mining hub, home to two major mines that shut down in 2000 and 2003. Later, officials began a marketing campaign encouraging people to relocate to Tumbler Ridge for its affordable housing and proximity to nature. Now, the town is known for its outdoor tourism.Most of the province of British Columbia is policed by federal officers because rural towns like Tumbler Ridge are not populous enough to have their own municipal police forces.Show more", "ai_headline": "Not specified", "ai_simplified_title": "Jesse Van Rootselaar Shoots 8 in Tumbler Ridge School", "ai_excerpt": "An 18-year-old, Jesse Van Rootselaar, killed eight people, including her mother and stepbrother, at a school in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, before taking her own life.
