Police received a report at 1.20 pm local time (10.20 am ET) Tuesday of an active school shooter at the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School. At around 1.30 pm, alarms began to sound in the school, announcing a lockdown and ordering that classroom doors be closed. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) soon issued a “shelter in place” warning, telling Tumbler Ridge residents to lock their doors and stay inside until further instruction. Six were found dead when police arrived at the school, and another person died en route to hospital. The alleged shooter is believed to have killed two more people, whose bodies were discovered at a home in the township.
