Six people were found deceased inside the school. Two additional people were found dead inside a residence in the community.
Authorities said the suspected shooter was found inside the school with what appeared to be a self-inflicted injury. The suspect has been identified as a female, but a name or motive has not been publicly released.
In addition to the deceased, RCMP said two victims were airlifted to a hospital with “serious or life-threatening injuries,” while as many as 25 others were being assessed and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Authorities have identified the suspected shooter as 18-year-old Jesse van Rootselaar. Police said van Rootselaar is believed to have killed her mother and stepbrother at home in Tumbler Ridge before traveling to Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, where six others were fatally shot.
