10 Dead, 25 Injured in Canada's Tumbler Ridge School Shooting
A mass shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School left 10 dead and at least 25 injured as authorities investigate a female suspect found with an apparent self-inflicted injury.
On February 10, a mass shooting shattered the calm at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, leaving 10 people dead and at least 25 injured.
Among the wounded is Maya, a 12-year-old girl who was rushed from the school to Vancouver Children's Hospital after suffering gunshot wounds to the head and neck; her mother says she is fighting for her life.
Police later said the suspected shooter, a female, was found inside the school with what appears to be a self-inflicted injury and died at the scene.
As students barricaded themselves to keep each other safe, many tried to stay motivated and calm amid the chaos.
Authorities described the attack as one of the deadliest mass shootings in Canadian history and said the investigation will focus on motives and school safety protocols.
Communities are left grieving and seeking answers about how to prevent such tragedies in the future.
