Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is scheduled to visit Tumbler Ridge, a remote mining town in British Columbia, following a tragic school shooting that claimed eight lives on Tuesday. The 18-year-old shooter, Jesse Van Rootselaar, who had dropped out of the high school four years prior and reportedly had mental health issues, died by suicide after killing her mother and stepbrother, and then six others at the school. The town of 2,400 observed a day of mourning, with businesses closed and a candlelight vigil held. This incident is particularly shocking in Canada due to its strict gun control laws, and police are still investigating the motive behind the violence. The British Columbia provincial government also canceled official business and observed a minute of silence.
