Canada School Shooting: 10 Dead, 25 Injured in British Columbia Tragedy
A quiet morning in British Columbia turned into a scene of horror after a deadly shooting inside a local school left ten people dead, including the suspected gunman, and at least 25 others injured. Authorities confirmed that emergency services responded within minutes, securing the campus and transporting the wounded to nearby hospitals.
According to preliminary police briefings, the suspect was among those killed during the incident. Investigators are currently examining the motive behind the attack, while officials have not yet released detailed information about the identities of the victims. Several of the injured remain hospitalized, with a few reported to be in critical condition.
Eyewitnesses described scenes of panic as students and teachers rushed to safety. Parents gathered outside the school premises, anxiously awaiting updates about their children. Counseling services have been arranged for students, staff, and families affected by the tragedy.
Canadian Prime Minister and provincial leaders expressed deep condolences to the victims’ families, calling it a “devastating act of violence.” Flags across parts of the province are expected to fly at half-mast as a mark of respect.
The incident has once again reignited debate in Canada over gun control regulations and school safety protocols. While Canada has stricter firearm laws compared to some countries, recent violent episodes have raised fresh concerns about enforcement and mental health interventions.
Police have urged the public not to circulate unverified information on social media, emphasizing that a full investigation is underway.
