The deceased suspect in a mass shooting that left nine people dead in a small town in western Canada was named as 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar, who was known to police.

Officers found Van Rootselaar dead after the shooting on Tuesday afternoon at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School from what they believe was a self-inflicted wound. Six others were killed at the school, including four 12-year-old students and one 13-year-old, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said.
