Pierre Poilievre, the Canadian opposition leader, has condemned the shooting in a social media post.
He said he was “devastated to hear of the many innocent people murdered and injured in a senseless act of violence at a local high school in Tumbler Ridge.
“Our prayers are with the families, students, teachers, first responders, and the entire community grieving this profound loss.”
We are yet to hear from Prime Minister Mark Carney.
