School shooting in Tumbler Ridge, Canada: 10 dead and more than 25 injured

Panic in a secondary school in Tumbler Ridge, in the Canadian province of British Columbia, where there was a shooting. The provisional toll is ten dead, including the attacker, and more than 25 injured. The dynamics are not yet clear, some of the victims were found inside the school building, others in a house a short distance away but the cases are apparently connected. A woman opened fire.

The shooting

Tumbler Ridge is a former mining town of 2,400 inhabitants, one thousand kilometers north of Vancouver. The school that was the scene of the carnage welcomed around 170 students.

The Canadian police announced that they had identified the perpetrator of the shooting but were unable to provide information on the matter at the moment. It would be a woman. Likewise, the reasons for the massacre are not known.

David Eby, governor of British Columbia, spoke of an “unimaginable tragedy”. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he was “devastated” by the “horrific” shooting in Tumbler Ridge, western British Columbia, where a person killed nine people at a school and then took his own life. “My prayers and deepest condolences go out to all the families and friends who lost loved ones in these horrific acts of violence,” Carney wrote in a social media post.

  • “I address my thoughts to Canada and to the dead and injured in the terrible shooting that occurred in a high school. An act of violence that affected innocent victims. My condolences and those of the Italian Government to the Canadian people and to the families of the victims”, writes Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani in X.
