Canadian police identified an 18-year-old with a history of mental health problems as the suspect in a school massacre in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, that left six people dead, including a teacher and five students, on Tuesday, according to The Guardian.

The suspect's identity was released following the attack on Tuesday in the remote town of Tumbler Ridge, as stated by The Guardian. Meanwhile, in Washington, the US House's resolution to disapprove of the national emergency Trump declared to impose tariffs on Canada passed with a vote of 219 to 211, with six Republicans defying the president, according to The Guardian.
