Title: 10 Dead in Tumbler Ridge High School Shooting, Suspected Gunman Among Fatalities Date Published: 11 February 2026 Description: At least 10 people, including the suspected shooter, have died following a shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and a nearby residence in British Columbia, authorities confirmed Tuesday. Several others sustained injuries.The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said six victims were found dead inside the school, while another person died en route to the hospital. Two more fatalities were reported at a nearby home believed to be connected to the attack. The suspected shooter, found deceased at the scene, appears to have inflicted the fatal injury on themselves.Two individuals were airlifted to hospital with serious or life-threatening injuries, and roughly 25 others were treated at a local medical centre for non-life-threatening wounds. All remaining students and staff were safely evacuated, the RCMP said.Tumbler Ridge, a small town of fewer than 3,000 residents located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains over 1,100 km north of Vancouver, has been shaken by the tragedy. Canadian media have reported that the shooter may have been female, though authorities have not confirmed the suspect’s identity. Police are also withholding details about victims’ ages and the weapons used as investigations continue.RCMP Northern District Commander Ken Floyd said officers are searching additional homes and properties in the community for potential connections to the shooting. “We are not in a place now to understand why this happened,” Floyd said, describing the events as a “rapidly evolving and dynamic situation.”British Columbia Premier David Eby called the mass shooting an “unimaginable tragedy” and pledged government support for those affected. “Our hearts are in Tumbler Ridge tonight with the families of those who have lost loved ones,” Eby said.Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney canceled plans to attend a security conference in Munich, Germany, in order to respond to the crisis. “I join Canadians in grieving with those whose lives have been changed irreversibly today, and in gratitude for the courage of first responders who risked their lives to protect others,” Carney wrote on social media.Canada enforces stricter gun control laws than its southern neighbor, the United States, but mass shootings in recent years have reignited calls for tougher measures. Former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau implemented further restrictions in 2022, including a freeze on the sale and purchase of handguns nationwide.
