Guns in photo posted by Tumbler Ridge shooter’s mother were legal, expert says
Eight people died in the attack including five students and an education assistant; two others were seriously wounded, officials said.
- On Feb. 10, an 18-year-old shot her mother Jennifer Jacobs, her half-brother Emmett, and then five students and an education assistant at Tumbler Ridge school, before turning the gun on herself.
- A town of roughly 2,700 residents, Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, was thrust into national spotlight after the school shooting, with leaders likening it to the 1989 massacre at École Polytechnique.
- RCMP say they seized two firearms last week, including an unregistered shotgun used in the killings, plus a long gun and modified rifle from the school.
- Counselling and trauma supports continue at the Tumbler Ridge Community Centre until March 6, with 14 temporary classroom units being set up at Tumbler Ridge Elementary School.
- Lessons from La Loche and Portapique show survivors and mental-health experts warn recovery will be long and require patient, ongoing supports beyond immediate relief.
