Canadian high school where deadly mass shooting occurred to be torn down

Tumbler Ridge secondary school was site of February mass shooting in which nine were killed and dozens injured The school that was the site of one of Canada’s deadliest mass shootings will be torn down, officials have announced. The decision to demolish the Tumbler Ridge secondary school came after meetings between the school board and survivors, family and community members, said the British Columbia premier, David Eby. “We want to make sure we’re doing things right by the survivors, by the families, by the people of Tumbler Ridge,” he told reporters. “[The school board] heard overwhelmingly was that the students, the educators, the staff and others wanted to move to a new location,” he said on Thursday. Nine people were killed and dozens injured after Jesse Van Rootselaar, an 18-year-old former student at the school, opened fire during a school day in February. The shooter was later found dead from a self-inflicted injury. In an attack that left the country emotionally shattered, police found six people dead inside the school and two more victims – the shooter’s sibling and mother – were later found at a residence connected to the shooter.
