When officers entered the school on Tuesday afternoon, they found six victims deceased, RCMP confirmed.
An individual believed to be the shooter was also found deceased with what appears to be a self‑inflicted injury.
Two victims have been airlifted to the hospital with serious or life‑threatening injuries. A third victim died while being transported to hospital. Approximately 25 others are being assessed and triaged at the local medical centre for non‑life‑threatening injuries.
The active shooter alert was lifted at 5:46 p.m. PT.
Hunt.
Stop hunting, there are very few wild animals left. We have farms, eat farmed meat.
Tell me again you never leave the city
Vancouver island has too many deer to the point where it’s a problem if we don’t shoot some of them
Ever heard of the deer problem on haida gwaii? Every deer killed there is beneficial to the island…
We’ve killed off vast amounts of natural predators. Hunting is regulated and often an important part of population control for the hunted animal. It also isn’t just about harvesting the meat, for many it is a deeply rooted cultural tradition.
Tradition is not a good argument for continued practice. Many traditions were and are objectively wrong.
The population control argument is rich. We don’t regulate the most destructive species on the planet.
