JUST IN: “This morning was normal… now my 12-year-old is fighting for her life.” A devastated mother is speaking out after a shocking incident on school grounds in Canada left her daughter critically injured. What began as an ordinary school day turned into chaos within minutes — sirens, lockdown procedures, and frantic calls to parents. Authorities have confirmed that a 12-year-old student was seriously hurt during an encounter with an unidentified woman on campus earlier this week. Surveillance footage reportedly shows the woman approaching the child in broad daylight moments before the situation escalated — raising disturbing questions about intent and how she gained access to the school grounds. Police have not yet released the suspect’s identity, but investigators are reviewing camera footage, witness statements, and security protocols to determine exactly what unfolded.

WARMINGTON: Mom says 12-year-old daughter ‘fighting for her life’ after Tumbler Ridge shooting

WARMINGTON: Mom says 12-year-old daughter ‘fighting for her life’ after Tumbler Ridge shooting

Cia Edmonds says her 12-year-old daughter Maya is “fighting for her life” after being one of the victims shot at a high school in Tumbler Ridge, B.C. in a massacre that so far has a death toll of nine, including the shooter.

“She was a lucky one, I suppose,” posted Edmonds on Facebook.

However, Edmonds also wrote she’s sitting in the Vancouver Children’s Hospital “while they try to repair the damage from a gunshot wound to the head” and “one to the neck.”

The RCMP say at this point, there are known to be seven dead in the high school, two dead in a residence in the town, and also the person they believe to be the shooter dead as a result of suicide.

But there is also reported to be 25 people wounded in this terrifying late afternoon massacre and Edmonds’ daughter is one them.

“I never thought I would be asking for prayers, but please, please, pray for my baby,” the mother wrote. “Condolences to the other families during this tragedy. This doesn’t even feel real.”

It is real.

The Toronto Sun has reached out to Edmonds for an update and will report back if she is able to respond.

Due to the small size of the remote community in northeast British Columbia, the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School’s website says they educate students from Grades 7 to 12.

This is a national nightmare.

And it’s one with far more questions at this point than answers.

RCMP not releasing name

While the RCMP have told media they have identified the shooter they described as “gun person,” they on Tuesday night said they had decided to not release the name.

This is unacceptable.

Every aspect of this heinous crime — from motive to the background of the mass killer — should be made public immediately.

“I’d like to take this opportunity to ask British Columbians, to ask all Canadians, to wrap the people of Tumbler Ridge, wrap these families with love, not just tonight, but tomorrow and into the future,” said B.C. Premier David Eby.

“This is something that will reverberate for years to come. As British Columbians, I know that one of the things we do best is look after each other. And I’m asking British Columbians to look after the people of Tumbler Ridge tonight.”

It may be a good soundbite, but it in the big picture it means nothing. While the medical professionals work to save Maya and other victims, the police focus on what the reason was behind this attack.

What needs to be done is to find out why this happened, were there any warning signs or previous interactions with the killer, and learn all aspects of what went on there.

Alert said suspect was in dress

There is plenty of speculation, but much is unconfirmed. But when the police use the term “gun person” to describe the killer, they are obligated to explain why they chose that term. There were alerts at the time of the shooting sent out of social media of what appeared to be a suspect wearing a dress.

This all should be clarified immediately.

And to pray for the victims like Maya, the families of those who were murdered, and for all those trying to recover from this evil slaughter.
