Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia: 10 confirmed dead, 25 injured in mass shooting (2/10/2026)

People across Canada are grieving tonight. How sad to project your prejudice onto Canadians.

I am Canadian. I'm afraid don't understand the point you are trying to make.

What a tragedy I hope that all the injured make full recoveries.

Other than being female, what little information we have about the perpetrator so far sounds similar to Adam Lanza (who killed his mother at home before committing the mass shooting at Sandy Hook).

Given the size of the community, it seems very likely that the shooter will turn out to be a former - or possibly even current - student at the school

Have they actually said the shooter is female? Seems hard to believe.
Tragic whatever the case.

Edit- ignore me, just noticed the mentions on the previous page.

It's very common for mass shooters to kill members of their household first, for whatever reason.

I definitely think it's likely she's a former student!

I imagine the MSM will catch up eventually but the identity of the killer is readily available on X.

If the name is correct, it will hit mainstream media eventually. (I resist X as much as possible, for about a year now.)

The shooter was pronounced dead at the scene. Police believe they died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Twenty-five others were injured in the Tuesday afternoon massacre at the small, rural high school. Their conditions remain unknown at this time.

The attacker has not yet been named and their motive remains unclear. An emergency alert described the shooter as a 'female in a dress with brown hair'.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police have not confirmed if the suspect found dead at the school is the same person described in the alert.

This is a breaking news story. Check back for updates.

• Police say they believe they have identified the shooter but have not yet released more information about who they were. They have also not released details about the victims' identities, including their age, citing privacy and a need to confirm and notify family first, as is standard practice in British Columbia.

10 Dead in Canadian School Massacre — And Police Are Calling the Killer a ‘Gunperson’ - KTSA

A mass shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia has left 10 people dead and...

www.ktsa.com

''What has drawn almost as much attention as the massacre itself is the language Canadian police chose to describe the killer. The RCMP’s initial emergency alert to residents described the active shooter as a “female in a dress with brown hair.” Then, in subsequent communications, police referred to the deceased suspect as a “gunperson” — not a gunman, not a shooter, but a “gunperson.” The term immediately went viral, with critics blasting the RCMP for appearing more concerned with avoiding misgendering a mass murderer than with transparently informing the public about who just slaughtered children in a school. Journalist John Stempin of NPR noted the absurdity, and accounts like Libs of TikTok and End Wokeness amplified the backlash across social media within hours.''
