On Wednesday, Canada mourned after a shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, left nine dead and 25 injured, marking the country's third-deadliest shooting. The incident occurred at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and a nearby residence. Police found seven bodies at the school, including the suspected shooter who appeared to have died from a self-inflicted injury. The shooter was described in a police alert as a "female in a dress with brown hair." The shooting prompted Prime Minister Mark Carney to suspend travel plans and renewed discussions about Canada's gun control measures, which include bans on assault-style weapons and a national gun buyback program. Authorities are still notifying families and have not released the identities of the victims or details about the firearms used.
