US EditionConservative MPs Call for Federal Inquiry Into Tumbler Ridge Tragedy
Two B.C. Conservative MPs demand a federal inquiry under the Inquiries Act into the Tumbler Ridge shooting that killed eight, including six children, to ensure accountability.
- On March 1, 2026, Federal Conservative MPs called for an independent inquiry into the Tumbler Ridge shooting that left eight people shot, including six children.
- Seeking authority under the federal Inquiries Act, the MPs said `An independent inquiry will look into things like mental health, access to firearms, and the protection of victims' families`.
- On Feb. 10, investigators say Jesse Van Rootselaar, 18-year-old shooter, killed family members then attacked the local secondary school, with police still probing how she obtained the weapons recovered at two crime scenes and noting her history of mental illness.
- The timing hinges on the police finishing their investigation as Premier David Eby said any inquiry must wait until then, while Larry Neufeld, B.C. Conservative MLA, and the MPs press competing provincial and federal probes.
- Ottawa has pressed OpenAI after revelations that the shooter had a banned ChatGPT account and OpenAI said it didn't flag it because it didn't meet the reporting threshold.
