Tragedy in Tumbler Ridge: Remembering the Lives Lost

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and opposition leaders visited Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, to honor the victims of a devastating mass shooting, one of the country's worst in history, that occurred earlier this week.

The attack, carried out by Jesse Van Rootselaar, left seven dead, including five students and a teacher at a local school. Van Rootselaar, who had battled mental health issues, also claimed the lives of her mother and stepbrother before taking her own life.

Reports indicate that weapons had been returned to Van Rootselaar's residence despite mental health concerns, sparking debates on gun control. The tragedy echoed past mass shootings, causing grief and raising questions on an international scale.
