The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) reported that at least ten people, including the alleged shooter, died following a shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia. Seven of these fatalities occurred at the school, while two additional victims were found at a nearby residence believed to be linked to the shooter, who died from a "self-inflicted injury," according to Al Jazeera, CBS News, and India Times.

Emergency alerts were issued at approximately 1:20 PM, indicating an active shooter situation. Police disclosed that another 27 individuals were injured, including two who sustained serious injuries, requiring airlifting to hospitals. The RCMP confirmed that a "lockdown and secure and hold" response was implemented in local schools during the incident, according to Le Monde, and Channel News Asia.
