10 Dead, Including Suspect, After Active School Shooting Incident in BC

A shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and a residence in northeastern B.C. on Feb. 10 left ten people dead, including the suspect, and more than 25 others injured. The RCMP said two of the injured are in life-threatening conditions.

The suspect is believed to have died from a self-inflicted injury, police said.

The RCMP responded to a report of an active shooter at the school around 1:20 p.m. local time and found six people and the suspect dead, while another victim died en route to hospital. Two victims with life-threatening injuries were airlifted to hospital.

Police said they later discovered two more deceased individuals at a “secondary location,” described as a residence connected to the school shooting.

“Officers are conducting further searches of additional homes and properties to determine whether anyone else may be injured or otherwise linked to today’s events,” the RCMP said on the evening of Feb. 10.

Residents of the small town of Tumbler Ridge, about 100 kilometres south of Dawson Creek, B.C., had earlier been told to stay indoors as more police resources were sent there from detachments in the neighbouring area. The RCMP lifted the shelter-in-place order later on Feb. 10.

Trent Ernst, publisher and reporter at the local news outlet Tumbler Ridge Lines, told The Epoch Times in an interview that community members received alerts on their phones in the afternoon.

The alerts seen by The Epoch Times described the suspect as “a female in a dress with brown hair.”
