In the shadow of the Rockies, Tumbler Ridge — a town of quiet streets and close-knit lives — became the site of unthinkable loss on February 10. Ten gone, including the shooter who turned the weapon on themselves; twenty-seven wounded. The RCMP Major Crime Unit pieces together a timeline that began just after 1:20 p.m. at the secondary school, then extended to a nearby home.

British Columbia Premier David Eby described the attack at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School as an ‘unimaginable tragedy’.

Another two people were found dead at a home that police believe is connected to the shooting.

The RCMP said the incident involved an “active shooter at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School” in British Columbia, and that “an individual believed to be the shooter was also found deceased with what appears to be a self‑inflicted injury”.

Two people were “airlifted to hospital with serious or life‑threatening injuries” and approximately 25 others were “being assessed and triaged at the local medical centre for non‑life‑threatening injuries”, the RCMP added.
