Crime 10 dead in Canada school shooting

Unconfirmed stuff but I’m seeing that cops frequently went to their house for mental health episodes and they tried to burn the house down once

The only type of gun control I’m ok with are red flag type cases (with a judge involved. Not just cops) where someone is clearly a threat to community even if they haven’t yet broken a law enough to be arrested and held.

Does Canada not have red flag laws?
Apparently we do have red flag laws and I don't think a judge needs to be involved just a call to the cops but don't quote me on that part.

I'm sure this incident will be throuroughly scrutinized. Per a post above, they did take the guns from the house previously?

Looks like Brave A.I found it before the press did :

Jesse Van Rootselaar, an 18-year-old transgender woman, has been identified as the suspect in the mass shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia, Canada, on February 10, 2026. She was born male but began transitioning to female approximately six years ago and identified as female socially and publicly.

Van Rootselaar opened fire at the school and a nearby residence, resulting in nine deaths, including herself. She was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the school. The victims at the school included a 39-year-old female teacher, three 12-year-old female students, and two male students aged 12 and 13. Two additional victims—her 39-year-old mother and 11-year-old stepbrother—were found dead at their home, where the shooting occurred before the school attack.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) confirmed that Van Rootselaar had a history of mental health-related police calls at her family home and had previously been apprehended under the Mental Health Act. Firearms were seized from the home in the past, though the lawful owner had petitioned for their return. She had an expired firearms license and no guns registered in her name at the time of the incident.

The RCMP stated there is no evidence that the victims were targeted specifically, and authorities believe Van Rootselaar acted alone. The investigation is ongoing, with recovered weapons and her background under review. Prime Minister Mark Carney ordered flags to be flown at half-mast in mourning.

So they didn't actually legally get the guns returned? Does that mean the mom had the guns illegally?



Damn.... Seems like a completely preventable tragedy
 
Is that the choice we have in here? Miserable or suck each other off? 🤣

Condolences on Sudbury though breh.
I actually like it. I’ve lived in BC and Georgia so have some variety. If you are into hunting and fishing and like winter, it’s good.

I am miserable, but don’t call me on it.
 
No doubt they will be tightened up even further after this.
Sounds like the law almost worked as they removed all guns in the home in the past, but sounds like the owner petitioned for their return and won. Mental health issues including police visits from the shooter.

Too bad they gave them back of course.
 



It's weird that they said "ever" when the shooting just happened. They've prepared to not ever give a motive.

I think I know why:


The suspect in two shootings at a high school and a home in British Columbia’s quiet community of Tumbler Ridge on Tuesday has been identified as 18-year-old transgender woman Jesse Van Rootselaar.

 
No doubt they will be tightened up even further after this.
They can try and Liberals will certainly use this tragedy to their advantage.

But the appetite isn't there; most provinces and police services have already rejected the "buy back" and I can't imagine why any rational owner of a previously non-restricted, unregistered firearm would even comply. At best, it'll be another expensive and ineffective virtue signal.
 
That was just was Scerpi said. I should have looked it up before responding

I’m seeing the same 30 something number as you. I wish they would differentiate how many injured are from gun shot wounds or if some injuries are like sprained ankles or cuts needing stitches while scrambling to run away

You see anything on the gun used?

Haven’t seen anything in the gun. Busy day so only seen brief headline type posts
 
Here is a snippet from a non CBC article

McDonald identified the suspect as "an 18-year-old female by the name of Jesse van Rootselaar," adding: "We have a history of police attendance at the family residence. Some of those calls were related to mental health issues."

Police said earlier that the suspect was found dead inside the school from "a self-inflicted injury."

Asked about the suspect's gender identity, he said: "I can say that Jesse was born as a biological male who approximately … six years ago, began to transition to female, and identified as female, both socially and publicly."

McDonald added that the suspect “dropped out of school approximately four years ago and was not currently attending the school.”
 
I haven’t read up entirely on the story so don’t quote or scrutinize me too much but I will state as a fact 1000% that NO KID should ever be prescribed anything to do with hormones, transition to a different sex, or even think about it until they are 18 at the very least. If I could, I would force the age to be 21-23. There simply needs to be mental councilors or the like that helps these kids with their feelings. They need to try anything and everything before hormones. And even then I personally don’t think hormones is the answer.

How does a kid “drop out” of school at 14? Were they being homeschooled?
 
It gives me a chuckle when i see in various threads that Trump and America are now an embarrassment. Like to who? It is either people like this in Canada or Europe. Breaking their backs to appease transtifada and Islam intifada.

Or actual Muslim counties and/or communist countries and/or dictatorships and/ot third world shit holes

Like what is your source of embarrassment ? Lol
