Canadian police confirmed ten deaths and at least 35 injuries following a mass shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia. The shooter, who also killed himself, was identified by a close family member as Jesse Strang, a transgender person identifying with she/her' pronouns. According to media reports, an active shooter alert was issued at 3.15pm Mountain Time (MT) by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), covering a large area including Chetwynd and Dawson Creek.
In 2025 there were 425 mass shootings in the US; 420 were killed and 1,898 were wounded.
What makes a single mass killing, and not even in the USA, worth posting about, Major DEI Boazo?

... The teenage shooter, who killed six people at a school after slaying her mother and stepbrother, had a history of police visits to her home.
Police identified the suspect in the deadly Tumbler Ridge shooting in Canada as an 18-year-old local woman who had a history of police visits to her home to check on her mental health.
She is suspected of shooting dead six people at the local high school on Tuesday after killing her mother and stepbrother at home.
Police revise death toll down
The suspect killed eight people, police clarified, and not nine as had been previously reported.
The confusion came after they mistakenly thought a victim airlifted to a hospital had died, police commander Dwayne McDonald said at a press conference on Wednesday.
Motive for Tumbler Ridge mass shooting still unknown
McDonald said the motive for the shooting wasn't yet known and police hadn't found a suicide note.
He identified the suspect as transgender, saying that she began to transition to female six years ago and identified as female both "socially and publicly."
The suspect was known to officers who had made multiple visits to their home in response to mental health calls, McDonald said.
She was "apprehended for assessment and follow up" under the Mental Health Act and taken to the hospital on occasion, he said.
Officers had seized weapons from the shooter's residence, he said, and had been subsequently returned.
McDonald said no guns were registered in the name of the shooter. She had previously held a gun license, but this had lapsed. ...

These Sandy Hook survivors say memories of classmates inspire us' as they graduate from Newtown (June 2024)

... In the beginning there were only flashes too disturbing for first-grade minds to reconcile -- alarming things they had never heard or seen....
Bangs and loud popping that would not stop. SWAT teams with big guns in the hallway. Chaos in the parking lot. Strong grownups crying inconsolably. News that friends would never come back.
But as time passed and first graders who survived the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre put distance between themselves and that Dec. 14 morning when everything changed, an uncommon kind of closeness seemed to enshroud them. From a police officer at the door on Christmas day with gifts, to teachers who always anticipated their needs, to the solidarity of classmates who shared the trauma that day, survivors made their way through the seasons of childhood feeling embraced by a closeness that some of them recognize today as one of their saving graces.
"It was such a dark time, and you can feel so alone, but it was really difficult to feel alone in Newtown because everyone came together so close," said Lilly Wasilnak, a 17-year-old at Newtown High School who is graduating in just a few days.
"We were all like a big family ... and the Sandy Hook kids, even if we didn't stay close friends, we always had each other to go back to"
As the mass shooting survivors entered high school and began to process what happened in 2012 when they were too innocent to understand, some survivors came to realize that the 20 first graders and six educators who didn't make it out of Sandy Hook Elementary School that day never really left them, but remained present in an inspirational way. ...
