Canada Shooting Victims Named as Community Mourns After Deadly Attack

Injuries and Ongoing Hospital Care
While many of the injured have since been treated and released, a few individuals remain under medical care:

A 12‑year‑old girl who was shot in both the head and neck was airlifted to the British Columbia Children’s Hospital in Vancouver and remains in critical condition.

Other victims received urgent treatment for gunshot wounds, injuries caused during evacuation, and trauma‑related health issues.

Hospital staff and medical teams from regional centers responded swiftly, demonstrating the region’s commitment to emergency care despite the rural location.

Families of victims have expressed gratitude for the swift response even as they cope with deep sorrow and uncertainty.

A Town in Mourning — and in Solidarity
In the days following the shooting, Tumbler Ridge has become a landscape marked by grief, remembrance, and communal support:

Memorials of flowers, candles, handwritten notes, stuffed animals, and photographs have appeared near the school entrance and along community pathways.

Vigils and prayer services have been held in churches and community halls, where people gather to remember the lost, comfort one another, and share their deepest emotions.

Local leaders have encouraged residents to look after one another, provide emotional support, and seek professional help if trauma becomes overwhelming.

Schools and recreation facilities have opened spaces for counseling and trauma‑informed care for students, parents, teachers, and first responders.

Flags on federal buildings and public spaces were flown at half‑mast in Ottawa and throughout British Columbia as a mark of national mourning.
