Two More Bodies Found After Terrifying School Massacre
Canadian cops have uncovered two more victims linked to the brutal high school shooting in British Columbia. The horror at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School initially claimed six lives at the scene. A seventh victim later died en route to hospital. With the latest grim discoveries, the death toll now stands at eight – including the suspected gunman.
Gunman Found Dead on School Grounds
Police arriving at the scene found the shooter suffering a “self-inflicted injury.” Authorities confirm no other suspects are at large and say the public is no longer in danger. Two victims remain in critical condition, airlifted to hospital, while around 25 more suffered non-life-threatening wounds, stretching the small town’s medical services to breaking point.
Lockdown Lifted After Hours-Long Police Hunt
The community endured a nerve-wracking shelter-in-place order until 5:45 pm local time as police swept multiple scenes — both at the school and a nearby home. Investigators are probing how the residential victims connect to the shooting and whether those attacks happened before or after the school rampage.
