Police said the suspected shooter was also found dead, apparently from a self-inflicted injury. Investigators believe the attacker may have been a woman, as an earlier active shooter alert issued in British Columbia described the suspect as a female wearing a dress with brown hair. Officials stressed that they were not searching for any additional suspects.
“Multiple injuries and multiple deceased were inside the school as officers progressed through the scene,” RCMP Superintendent Ken Floyd told a news conference. He said the site had been secured and investigators were working to determine the sequence of events and identify the weapon or weapons involved.
The shooting prompted a large emergency response, with police, paramedics and other first responders rushing to the area. Authorities said at least 25 people were being assessed for injuries at a local medical centre, though the severity of those injuries was not immediately clear.
Tumbler Ridge is a small, close-knit community with a population of about 2,400 people, located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, roughly 1,155 kilometres northeast of Vancouver. News of the incident has sent shockwaves through the town and across the province.
