Canadian police said eight people were killed in a school shooting on Tuesday (February 10, 2026) in British Columbia, including a shooter, and dozens more were injured.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said a suspect has been found dead with what is believed to be a self-inflicted injury.
The Peace River South School District said Tuesday (February 10, 2026) that there was a the “lockdown and secure and hold” at both the secondary school and the Tumbler Ridge Elementary school.
Larry Neufeld, the member of the legislature for Peace River South, told reporters at the legislature that an “excess” of resources, including RCMP and ambulance support, have been sent to the community.
He said he didn’t want to release any more information over concerns that it might jeopardize the safety of the ongoing operation.
He urged those in the community to stay where they are.
“We do understand that a few folks are out looking for loved ones, and again, please, please go back to your homes and shelter in place and allow the amazing people of the RCMP to make this community, this beautiful community, safe again,” he said.
The provincial government website lists Tumbler Ridge Secondary School as having 175 students from Grades 7 to 12.
