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.
And yet Canadian legal gun owners have to pay for that. With the gun bans of the past 6 years banned almost every semi-automatic rifle by name, grandfathering all handguns, and now shotguns are being added to the list.
They are also looking to expand rifle bans to include any rifle with a detachable magazine… news flash: most bolt-action rifles have detachable magazines.
What the hell do you need a gun for! Get lost.
Hunt.
Stop hunting, there are very few wild animals left. We have farms, eat farmed meat.
Tell me again you never leave the city
Vancouver island has too many deer to the point where it’s a problem if we don’t shoot some of them
Ever heard of the deer problem on haida gwaii? Every deer killed there is beneficial to the island…
We’ve killed off vast amounts of natural predators. Hunting is regulated and often an important part of population control for the hunted animal. It also isn’t just about harvesting the meat, for many it is a deeply rooted cultural tradition.
Tradition is not a good argument for continued practice. Many traditions were and are objectively wrong.
The population control argument is rich. We don’t regulate the most destructive species on the planet.
I’m pretty sure most of Canada is rural as shit and has like bears and giant moose and stuff. I’d probably want a gun in that environment. I cant really comment for real though, im in the UK and the wilderness is tame as fuck here.
Too many of these gusy move to a rural tourist town, 2hr drive from the city, or move to a mining town…and start to think of themselves as lone libertarian survivalists that hate ‘city-idiots’. There are very few people in Canada that actually live remotely or in the bush off-grid. Most of these guys have no interest in environmental issues, studying nature, and are just obsessed with owning guns and trucks.
Sovereignty
Morons advocating for gun ownership is how we lose sovereignty.
Average citizens participating in politics and demanding justice is how we keep sovereignty.
So good will and vibes keeps Canada sovereign got it. I hope Russia China and America support our vibes.
The USA has nuclear missiles.
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?
I don’t dream of wars, only stupid people do. Stop idolizing war, get a life.
Carney backing israel strikes right now. Canada will have boots on the ground soon
