The mother of one of the victims of the Tumbler Ridge mass shooting has shared updates about how her daughter is doing.

Twelve-year-old Maya Gebala has had to fight pneumonia, MRSA, meningitis, a cerebral leak, and two brain surgeries, Cia Edmonds posted on Facebook.

Edmonds says Maya is slowly improving, opening her eye during the day and appearing to follow TV shows.

“My stomach was in knots, and I don’t think I was able to process a coherent sentence for anyone to be able to understand,” she posted.

“Day by day, though, she’s coming back to the place she was, the swelling is going down again, and her eye is open during the day.”

She says Maya is able to squeeze her hands and wiggle her toes when asked to.

Maya, who was flown to BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver following the tragedy, has received an outpouring of support from people around the world.

The Feb. 10 mass shooting claimed the lives of nine people in Tumbler Ridge, including that of the shooter, Jesse Van Rootselaar.

He set his own children on fire — and a nation is still grieving what happened next. On February 19, 2020, in Brisbane, Hannah Clarke and her three young children — Aaliyah, Laianah, and Trey — were attacked in an act of unimaginable domestic violence by her estranged husband, Rowan Baxter. Hannah fought desperately to survive but later died from her injuries. Her children did not make it. What followed was heartbreak across Australia — and a reckoning. Vigils filled the streets. Leaders called for urgent reform. Families demanded stronger action against coercive control. But beyond the headlines was a mother described as loving, fierce, and determined to protect her babies at any cost. Her story didn’t end that day. It ignited a movement.

Three dead. A gunman wearing an Iranian flag shirt. And now federal agents are asking if global conflict sparked local bloodshed. The death toll in the Austin mass shooting has risen to three, after a third victim succumbed to injuries from the attack outside Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden. Police say the suspect, Ndiaga Diagne, was fatally shot by officers. Sources reveal he was wearing clothing featuring the Iranian flag and religious phrases — just one day after U.S.–Israel strikes on Iran. Now the Federal Bureau of Investigation is digging through digital evidence, background records, and thousands of hours of video to determine whether this was random violence — or something far more deliberate. Three young lives lost. More than a dozen injured. And a motive that could carry international implications. What investigators are uncovering next may change everything.

Savannah Guthrie just returned to her missing mother’s home — and the questions are only getting darker. For the first time since 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie vanished, Savannah Guthrie was seen back at the Tucson property, laying flowers beside a growing tribute that reads: “Let Nancy Come Home.” Investigators say blood was found on the porch. The Federal Bureau of Investigation released footage of a masked man at her door the night she disappeared. Nearby cameras captured a dozen vehicles passing around that same time. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department won’t say if any of those vehicles are connected — only that detectives are reviewing hundreds of hours of video. Now the home has been returned to the family. “No Trespassing” signs are up. So what really happened that night?
