Eleven people, including the alleged shooter, were found dead following the massacre that took place in northeastern British Columbia, Canadian police announced on Tuesday.

Seven of the victims were found inside the high school in the community of Tumbler Ridge, two others were found in a residence — with authorities estimating that those killings are connected to the school attack — while another person died while being transported to the hospital, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).

Suspected perpetrator found dead

The individual believed to be responsible for opening fire was also found dead, with police estimating that the person may have shot themselves. Authorities clarified that there are no indications of additional suspects and that there is no longer any danger to residents. At the same time, as reported by the BBC, officials stated that they know the identity of the perpetrator, but so far have not released the name or gender.

Other information in international media outlets, which has not yet been confirmed, reports that the armed attack was carried out by a woman with brown hair wearing a dress, at around 1:20 p.m. local time.

Tumbler Ridge, a remote town of about 2,400 residents, is located at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, approximately 1,155 kilometers northeast of Vancouver. Meanwhile, another 25 people were undergoing medical evaluation at the local health center, according to authorities.

“My thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the entire Tumbler Ridge community,” said British Columbia’s Minister of Public Safety, Nina Krieger, in a post on X, assuring that every available resource would be deployed to investigate the case.

Canadian Prime Minister’s trip to Germany canceled

At the same time, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney suspended his planned trip to Germany following the shooting, according to his office and Reuters. Carney had been scheduled to attend the Munich Security Conference, which usually lasts several days and was expected to host more than 60 heads of state and government. The agenda of the talks included issues such as artificial intelligence, critical supply chains, support for Ukraine, and NATO.

In a statement, he emphasized that he shares in the grief of Canadians and thanked first responders and rescue teams “who risked their lives to protect their fellow citizens.” He also added that the federal government “stands with all residents of British Columbia as they confront this horrific tragedy.”
