A mass shooting in the small British Columbia community of Tumbler Ridge has claimed about 10 lives, including the suspected gunman, and wounded roughly 25 people in two connected attacks—one at a secondary school and another at a nearby residence. Local law enforcement say the shooter, believed to be female, died of a self-inflicted injury and that the motive is still unclear. The tragedy, rare for Canada, has deeply affected the tight-knit town and prompted national sorrow and official condolences.
