Police also discovered two additional bodies at a Tumbler Ridge home.

Police stated that they “believe the residence to be connected to the incident.”

Police reported that “a person suspected of being the shooter was also found deceased with what appears to be a self-inflicted injury” at the school.

“The heartbreak our community is experiencing tonight is beyond words,” the Tumbler Ridge municipality said in a statement.

When the school was declared to be under lockdown, Darian Quist, a student at Tumbler Ridge, informed the national broadcaster CBC that he was in his mechanics class.
He claimed that after first “not thinking anything was going on,” he began to get “disturbing” pictures of the slaughter at the school.

“It set in what was happening,” Quist said.
