At Least Nine People Killed in a Mass Shooting in British Columbia, Canada

HeadlineFeb 11, 2026

In Canada, at least nine people were killed and over two dozen injured in a mass shooting in a small town in northeastern British Columbia. Six people were found dead in Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, while another died on the way to the hospital. Two others were found dead at a local residence, with police saying the incidents are likely connected. The suspected shooter reportedly also died of what appeared to be a “self-inflicted injury.” Darryl Krakowka, mayor of Tumbler Ridge, where the shooting took place, told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, “I will know every victim. I’ve been here 19 years, and we’re a small community. I don’t call them residents. I call them family.”
