The statement added that 27 people were injured, including two in serious condition and 25 whose injuries were not life-threatening.

He continued that the police issued a report about the presence of an armed man at Tumbler Ridge High School on Tuesday afternoon, and after the authorities searched the school, 6 people were initially found shot dead. A seventh person who was injured at the school also died of his wounds while being transported to the hospital.
The police statement added that they "identified a secondary location believed to be related to the incident, where the bodies of two additional victims were found in a house."
Canadian media revealed that the shooter was a woman, but the police statement did not include any details about the suspect.
In turn, the Commander of the Northern District of the Canadian Police, Ken Floyd, said in a statement, “The situation was volatile and rapidly evolving, and the rapid cooperation from the school, rescue teams and the community played a decisive role in our response.”
The Tumbler Ridge area is located more than 1,100 kilometers north of Vancouver, the largest city in British Columbia.
