Female suspect? That is very unusual for school shootings.

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.

I saw that. Sean Hannity made a mistake early on and walked it back. Not without taking shots at our country's law enforcement and media

I've been using the word "female" and not girl or woman, because I don't know how old that person was.

Female suspect? That is very unusual for school shootings.

The shooter was a trans female, so biologically male.

Oh. Interesting. I really don't understand the "pronoun" usage in the article. Referring to perpetrator as "they" and "them" is confusing. Isn’t it appropriate to refer to a Trans female as "she"?

Wasn't the last school shooter also a trans female? Interesting association.

The police briefing did confirm the name. Sorry I don't have a link. But, now it's officialy out there (with different last name than has been previously reported).

It's probably hard to have half the world hating you for being you. That could lead to dispair and rage.

But, I don't know what happened here.

Shooter’s mother, sibling among victims in Tumbler Ridge shooting.

One woman, previously reported as deceased is actually still alive.

A family member to the shooter told the neighbours about the initial killings, prompting a call to police.

“We were called because a neighbour – there was a young female at that home that went to the neighbour’s – and that’s how we learned there were two deceased at that residence,” RCMP Deputy Commissioner Dwayne McDonald said.

“The incident at the home occurred first, and from there our suspect attended the school and commenced their criminal activity there, and that’s how we learned there were two deceased at that residence,” McDonald added.

Okay, thanks for clarifying. I reported my own post because I thought it referenced the wrong suspect.
