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.)

Canadian shooter killed two people at house before school massacre

Six people were found dead inside Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia, as well as two at a connected residence.

www.dailymail.co.uk

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.

It was correct.

The person shown in the first photo is NOT the same person as the 2nd and 3rd photo and spreading around someone who is not involved is incredibly messed up. Shame on that article for continuing to keep it up. Especially more when the person they claim the image is from no longer even has that picture in the original post either.

Are you referencing a pic. posted by me? Hopefully not, but if so, apologies to all and will report for photo removal.
ETA, reported my post, thanks for the heads up.

I am, yes. I should have said re: post 33, so my apologies for that. I didn't want to quote the reply because of said photo. But yes, I believe including the photos until there is full confirmation is not a good idea and from everything I have seen, the first photo that was spread about is a transperson from another province and not the person named by the locals. The other X accounts who spread that photo and another one have already walked it back because it was not the same person.

If I am wrong myself, I will walk it back as well.
