Police evacuated students from Tumbler Ridge Secondary School after one of Canada’s worst mass shootings. Most victims were shot at the school, where the suspected female attacker also died. Locals say the town’s sense of safety is shattered. BC Premier David Eby called it a "devastating tragedy." Police are investigating a motive, as mass shootings remain rare in Canada due to strict gun laws.
