Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney visited Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, on Friday to attend a vigil for the eight victims of a tragic mass shooting this week. Hundreds gathered to mourn, including families and local residents. "Canadians are with you, we will always be with you," Carney said, honoring the victims, which included six young school children. Carney canceled a trip to the Munich Security Conference and invited all federal party leaders to join him to show unity. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre stated, "Today? There are no Conservatives. There are no Liberals, New Democrats, Greens or Bloc Québécois." The suspect, 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar, who lived in the community, was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the school. Police said Van Rootselaar was not targeting specific people but was "hunting," engaging anyone he encountered. Authorities seized four firearms linked to the attack. The suspect's firearm license was valid until 2024, but how he obtained the guns remains under investigation. Van Rootselaar was known to have mental health struggles and transitioned six years ago. Police clarified that none of the guns used were previously seized. Misinformation about the suspect circulated on social media, but police released an image to confirm identification. The school remains closed as the RCMP continues investigations. The victims include five children aged 12 to 13, a teacher, and two family members of the shooter. The children were remembered warmly by their families. The community of Tumbler Ridge, a small northern town, is deeply shaken, with many residents supporting each other through grief.
