Nine people were killed and dozens injured in a mass shooting at a high school in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, Canada, on February 11, 2026, according to multiple reports. The suspect, identified as a woman, died of a self-inflicted wound, police said. The attack, one of the deadliest mass shootings in Canadian history, has left the remote coalmining community in shock.
The shooting occurred at Tumbler Ridge secondary school, prompting Principal Stacie Gruntman to immediately put the school in lockdown, as educators are increasingly trained to do, according to The Guardian.

Authorities have not yet released a motive for the attack.
RCMP took up positions outside a home in Tumbler Ridge where two additional bodies were found, according to The Guardian. The community is struggling to make sense of the tragedy. "No words that capture the horror," The Guardian reported.
