The Tumbler Ridge shooter has been identified. Jennifer, the shooter’s mother, and sibling, Emmett, are among the victims. Follow for the latest updates.
Not just the family, the entire community will carry this with them for life. Tumbler Ridge is not a big place. In small towns like that everybody knows everybody
It seems some members of that community may have contributed to this tragedy due to their treatment of the shooter, hopefully they reflect on those factors as well.
What’s done is done, we can’t unwind the past. We can help them heal, and try to grow past the grief, but yes, those scars are never going to be gone. Every tragedy like this is a failure. Of what, and how can take time to put together. Everyone is going to want to latch on to any one of a million factors and invent a story in their mind of what happened that fits their perspective on the world. I would advise against that, because none of us know all the details yet, and we may not for some time. Right now, it’s important to mourn the lost, to comfort those closest to them, and let those tasked with putting the facts together do their job.
Or, maybe, they have already endure hell for many years at the hand of a mentally ill person and they are now relieved knowing that the shooter is dead ?
The mom’s posts on faceboook misgender this kid and they took her out of school at 13/14. A family member talked to the media and continued to call this trans kid “he”.
The family had their guns taken over criminal code violations, and then the RCMP brought them back a month before this.
I don’t know what happened, and it is a tragedy, but something went very very wrong here and neither you nor me know enough to say something like your comment.
There are a lot of questions that need to be answered.
Just watched an interview on CBC with a local pastor and they constantly misgendered them as well. A pattern is developing here. Life in a small town can be cruel for those that are different.
That’s just terrible. The victims’ families and friends are going to be scarred for life.

Yeah you’re right about that, oh man that’s even sadder.

Yet all the conservatives i speak to propsoe banning being trans to fix this, when in reality we need more support to prevent a similar tragedy.
