When officers entered the school on Tuesday afternoon, they found six victims deceased, RCMP confirmed.

An individual believed to be the shooter was also found deceased with what appears to be a self‑inflicted injury.

Two victims have been airlifted to the hospital with serious or life‑threatening injuries. A third victim died while being transported to hospital. Approximately 25 others are being assessed and triaged at the local medical centre for non‑life‑threatening injuries.

The active shooter alert was lifted at 5:46 p.m. PT.

    I’m pretty sure most of Canada is rural as shit and has like bears and giant moose and stuff. I’d probably want a gun in that environment. I cant really comment for real though, im in the UK and the wilderness is tame as fuck here.

      Too many of these gusy move to a rural tourist town, 2hr drive from the city, or move to a mining town…and start to think of themselves as lone libertarian survivalists that hate ‘city-idiots’. There are very few people in Canada that actually live remotely or in the bush off-grid. Most of these guys have no interest in environmental issues, studying nature, and are just obsessed with owning guns and trucks.

      Uh no not really, like most developed countries we’re primarily urban… I’ve lived in the boreal forest and nobody has guns for bears lol.
