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 agree. Violence is a societal issue, not an identity one.
The sooner we realise this, the better. Regardless of who you are, what your background is, what extreme things you are exposed to – you do not go out and kill a bunch of innocent people unless there is something significantly wrong with your mental state.
