Extremely sad. There seems to be so much horrible stuff happening with school age kids at the moment!

…so devastating…some of the victims were at a home residence, with that being connected to the school shooting…the killer is also one of the dead with self inflicted wounds…

Nine people have been killed and 25 injured in related shootings at a school and home in western Canada, police say

Seven were fatally wounded at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, while the other two victims were found at the nearby residence - authorities have not given their names or ages

The suspect was also found dead with a self‑inflicted injury, according to officials

Authorities say they know the attacker's identity but have not revealed their name and gender - earlier, a shelter-in-place alert described the suspect as a "female in a dress with brown hair"

Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney says he is "devastated" by "today's horrific shootings", as he suspended a planned trip to Germany

Police have not identified the type of gun used in the attack

An 18-year-old girl was identified as the person who fatally shot six people at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and two other people at a private residence Tuesday in one of Canada’s deadliest mass shootings in history.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said in a press conference Wednesday afternoon that Jesse Van Rootselaar killed her 39-year-old mother and 11-year-old stepbrother at the home before opening fire at the school.

Six people were killed at the high school: a 39-year-old female educator, three 12-year-old female students, a 12-year-old male student and a 13-year-old male student. RCMP have not publicly identified the names of the victims yet.

Two more victims were airlifted to the hospital with “significant injuries,” police say.

Students and faculty at the high school, located in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, spent hours barricaded inside classrooms, offices and other corners of the school after the principal directed everyone to lock their doors.

Investigators have not identified a motive for the shooting, but said that police had responded to calls at the residence multiple times over the last several years due to “concerns” about the suspect’s “mental health.”

…it’s impossible to imagine what all of the victim families are going through now and what their worlds have become…

A 12-year-old girl is clinging onto her life after one of the deadliest mass shootings in Canadian history in the small British Columbia town of Tumbler Ridge.

“We were warned that the damage to her brain was too much for her to endure, and she wouldn't make the night,” her mother wrote in a post on Facebook. “Our baby needs a miracle.”

The girl was reportedly trying to lock the door when she was shot by 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar, who police say killed six people at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, after killing her 39-year-old mother and 11-year-old stepbrother at a nearby home.

Six people were killed at the high school: a 39-year-old female educator, three12-year-old female students, a 12-year-old male student and a 13-year-old male student.

Students and staff spent hours barricaded inside classrooms and other corners of the school after the principal directed everyone to lock their doors.

Investigators have not identified a motive for the shooting, but said police had been called to the residence several times in recent years due to “concerns” about the suspect’s “mental health.”

…Canada has much more strict gun laws than the US but firearms can be owned with a license….


…’The Trudeau government introduced a number of restrictions on handgun ownership and assault-style weapons since 2020, partly in response to a mass shooting in Nova Scotia and the Uvalde school shooting in Texas.

However, attempts to ban certain types of rifles and shotguns were abandoned after opposition from farmers and hunters.’….


…Tumbler Ridge, where the mass shooting took place is a small town in the wilderness and has apparently always been a ‘hunting town’….with many/maybe most town-folk owning firearms for hunting pass time activities…this type of horrific mass shooting is very rare in Canada…

How many women are mass murderers? If we don't tell the truth we will never know. I'm tired of hearing that a "woman" has been charged with rape when that just can't happen. Now a "woman" has slaughtered a bunch of people. It's fantasy and I can't get behind it.

Women can definitely rape men

It worries me that people are worrying about hurt feelings caused by misgendering someone who thinks they're a woman, dresses like a woman but not only looks like a man, but is and always will be, biologically male. Meanwhile innocent people are lying in their own blood.

I presume he wanted notoriety, just dont call him anything, call him what he died as ...a murderer,=

Can anyone tell me a victims name? his mothers name, his brothers name, because all we hear is the name of the killer

It says a lot that some people seem more upset about pronouns than about the crime itself. Misgendering didn’t cause the violence, and describing the suspect as a woman didn’t cause the victim’s death. That’s worrying.

That’s true, I don’t think there are many female killers out there. The most seems to be men. He was born a male yes, but I’d put them in with trans killers rather than women killer

Abel Mwansa Jr., aged 12…

Abel Mwansa Jr. “loved” going to school so much, his father says the late 12-year-old once broke down in tears at the idea of being homeschooled instead, according to a memorial in The National Post.

Abel Mwansa Sr. wrote in an emotional social media tribute that receiving the news his son was killed at school — the place he loved going to — was “devastating.”

“Seeing you leaving the house with that beautiful smile while going to Tumbler Ridge High school was so refreshing, this is because I saw a bright future, a leader an engineer also a scientist in you, because you loved doing experiments with explanation,” the victim’s father wrote on Facebook. “I invested so much in you to make you a better person, one that will change the world.”

The boy’s father added: “If I had power to give life I would have brought you back to life together with others that were killed alongside you but son my power is limited, and seeing your child murdered at this age is heart breaking.”

Eziekiel Schofield, age 13…

…no photo has been released as yet for Eziekiel so far as I can see…

The family of 13-year-old victim Eziekiel Schofield also confirmed his death in an emotional message posted to social media.

“As many of you already know, Melody and I tragically lost our 13-year-old grandson, Eziekiel Schofield, yesterday in the Tumbler Ridge school shooting,” the boy's grandfather, Peter Schofield, wrote. “We have heard from so many dear friends and family members, both near and far, and we are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of love and heartfelt condolences during this devastating time. Your messages, prayers, and support mean more to us than words can express.”

Eziekiel played forward with his local U-15 Tumbler Ridge Raptors hockey team, according to The Star. On Thursday, Feb. 12, a teammate's parents rented ice time at their local rink and invited everyone in the community to gather, skate and find any comfort they could in being together.

Eziekiel’s grandfather wrote that he and his wife would travel to Tumbler Ridge to be with the rest of their family.

“We feel absolutely broken,” the grieving grandparent added. “Everything feels so surreal. The tears just keep flowing. So many young lives were ended so needlessly. Our hearts are broken not only for Eziekiel, but for every family affected by this tragedy.”

Kylie May Smith, age 12 …

Kylie May Smith was a “beautiful, kind, innocent soul,” her aunt Shanon Dycke remembered in a GoFundMe set up Wednesday, as she says her family continues to try and make sense of her sudden death.

“Yesterday our family received the gut-wrenching news that our beautiful Kylie May was confirmed to be one of the victims in the Tumbler Ridge school shooting,” Dycke wrote in the fundraiser. “She was just 12 years old. We are completely devastated and have no words as we try to process the magnitude of the situation.”

Dycke said her “heart aches for the other families involved and for the loss of their children” as a result of Tuesday’s deadly shooting.

With hope, the grieving family member added: “To the families with children still in the hospital; keep fighting. We are sending you prayers.”

I'd be perfectly happy with that. But some insist on saying this person is a woman.

On Tuesday, the girl’s mother, Cia Edmonds, shared on social media that the family had been warned Maya "wouldn't make the night."

"I cannot reply to the mountain of messages we've recieved,” Edmonds wrote, saying they are grateful “for all the love and support.” "Our baby needs a miracle."

People across Canada have offered best wishes to Maya and her family, including Canadian hockey legend Hayley Wickenheiser.

Twelve-year-old Ticaria Lampert is being remembered as a “one-of-a-kind kiddo,” who was being raised by a single mom along with her seven siblings.

An online fundraiser has been launched to help the family, which offers a glimpse into who Ticaria was.

“Ticaria was such a loving, courageous, humorous, one of a kind kiddo and her life was cut short,” the GoFundMe says.

“Hold your loved ones tight. Tell your babies you love them. Rest easy sweet girl and all the others lost in this tragic event.”

CTV News has confirmed the victim’s identity with her family.

Emmett Jacobs age 11…

The suspect’s sibling—an 11-year-old boy—was also found in the home, according to authorities. His name was Emmett, CTV News learned.

Other than the family members, the RCMP said it was too early to comment on what relationship, if any, the suspect had with the people who were killed.

“There’s been much speculation within the community regarding the relationship between the shooter and some of the victims. All of that remains part of the active and ongoing investigation. We are not in a position to publicly confirm any specifics,” said Deputy Commissioner Dwayne McDonald, commanding officer of the B.C. RCMP, at a news conference.

The suspect who died of self-inflicted gunshot wounds at the school has been identified as Jesse Van Rootselaar—an 18-year-old who police said was “born as a biological male” and “identified as female, both socially and publicly.”

I can't see the connection with the age group they were two years older than his step brother, I think it was just they were smaller and easier to kill sadly

Omg not the step brother too…


(Obviously it’s all sad but it’s especially heinous to kill a young family member imo… was this maybe the step brothers school?)
