Tumbler Ridge RCMP say multiple people are dead and others injured after a shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School on Tuesday afternoon.

Police were called at about 1:20 p.m. after a report of an active shooter and issued a Police Initiated Public Alert. The alert was cancelled at 5:45 p.m. after officers determined there were no outstanding suspects and no ongoing threat to the public.

RCMP say an individual believed to be the shooter was found dead inside the school with what appears to be a self inflicted injury. Six other people were found dead in the school. Two victims were airlifted to hospital with serious or life threatening injuries, and a third died while being transported. About 25 others were assessed at the local medical centre for non life threatening injuries. Students and staff were evacuated, and police are working with the school district on reunification.

Investigators also located two additional victims deceased at a nearby residence believed to be connected to the incident. BC RCMP Major Crime has taken over the investigation, with support from the Emergency Response Team and Victim Services.
