Canada rocked by the deadliest school shooting in 40 years as a woman in a dress opens fire! – Story Of The Day!

Canada is grieving after a devastating shooting in the remote town of Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, where authorities say nine people were killed and at least 25 others were injured in attacks that struck a secondary school and a nearby home.

The violence unfolded over the course of Tuesday, February 10, shattering a community of roughly 2,400 residents nestled in the Rocky Mountain foothills about 415 miles north of Vancouver and close to the Alberta border. In a place where most people recognize one another by name, the scale of the tragedy has left families, students, and first responders reeling.

Police say the first and most severe scene was inside Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, a small campus with about 175 students. Officers responding to reports of an active shooter entered the building to locate and stop the threat. During that search, they discovered multiple victims. Six people were found dead inside the school, according to authorities, and a seventh victim later died while being transported to the hospital.

Investigators also located the suspected shooter at the school. Officials said the person was found deceased and appeared to have suffered a self-inflicted injury. Canadian federal police Chief Superintendent Ken Floyd stated that the individual found at the school matched the description included in an alert that had been sent to residents earlier in the day.
