Canadian school shooting

Nine people were killed and 27 injured in a school shooting at the community of Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, in the Rocky Mountain foothills. The killer, a boy who reportedly identified as a girl and whom authorities are calling the “gunperson,” apparently committed suicide. British Columbia Solicitor General Nina Krieger called the attack “one of the worst mass shootings in our province’s and country’s history.” Such tragedies bring much introspection yet few answers to the most important questions.
