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.

    Morons advocating for gun ownership is how we lose sovereignty.

    Average citizens participating in politics and demanding justice is how we keep sovereignty.

      Participating in politics and demanding justice are liberal democratic tools of effective governance that should be encouraged and celebrated.

      Sovereignty is about the independence of the state, international autonomy, and territorial integrity.

      When your neighbour routinely threatens your sovereignty and that neighbour happens to lead the world in defense spending and guns per capita, it might be time to consider a CFSC course.

          So your position is anti-gun as a deterrent, but pro-nuclear proliferation as a deterrent?

          Your argument is Americans would threaten nuclear war against Canada, when the vast majority of Canadians live within 100 miles of the border and 70% of Canadians are south of the 49th parallel?

          Or are you suggesting the US would first strike Nunavut?

          The finns won the winter war outnumbered 100 to 1, the US doesn’t scare me

          And I sure as shit hope our citizens have guns because europe isn’t going to show up to help us

          Also I live in Victoria. How is the US going to nuke me without blowing up the Puget sound base in the process?

      What is inherently wrong with gun ownership? Every house in switzerland has an assault rifle.

      I think every canadian should have mandatory firearms training too and I think that the PAL is currently far too easy to get. I just did my PAL…it’s designed for the average albertan to pass. Lol
