Tumbler Ridge shooting victim undergoing fourth surgery to repair fractured skull

Undergoing a fourth surgery, Maya Gebala will have a prosthetic piece placed in her skull where she was shot earlier this year, her mother said.
In the library, Maya was shot multiple times during the Feb. 10 attack at Tumbler Ridge, according to family and hospital updates, while trying to protect classmates.
Signs of response include her moving her left hand and leg and turning her head, despite unable to talk or move her right side, her mother said.
The shooting left nine people dead and 27 injured, and two students were airlifted to hospital after the attack that killed five other students and a teacher's aide.
The report was first published March 20, 2026, and the family said Maya is scheduled for another surgery Saturday amid concerns about infections after a challenging month and a half, Edmonds wrote.
