Canada is in mourning, and in shock, after Tuesday’s mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, a northeastern British Columbia community of 2,600 people.

Nine people were killed, including the suspect, and around 25 injured in one of the deadliest such attacks in the country’s history. Students and teachers at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School “bore witness to unheard-of cruelty,” Prime Minister Mark Carney told the House of Commons. Lawmakers observed a moment of silence in honor of the victims.
