A shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia, Canada, left 10 people dead, including the shooter, on Tuesday. The tragedy that shocked the international community took place.

Six people were killed inside the school and one person was killed on the way to the hospital. Two other bodies were found at a location linked to the shooter.

The suspect was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Two people were airlifted to hospital with serious injuries. About 25 others are being treated for minor injuries.

British Columbia Premier David Eby called it an "unthinkable tragedy."

The remaining students and staff were safely evacuated. A recent spike in gun violence in Canada has fueled calls for stricter gun control laws.
