At 13:20 local time (20:20 GMT) police received a report of an active shooter at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia, Canada.
A student describes hearing an alarm after arriving at class around 13:30 local time, instructing them to close the doors for a lockdown.
Police arrived at the school within two minutes, according to British Columbia’s Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Nina Krieger.
A shelter-in-place alert was subsequently sent to phones in the area by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), describing the suspected attacker as a “female in a dress with brown hair”.
The alert was officially cancelled at 17:45 local time (00:45 GMT) once police determined there were no outstanding suspects.
Later on, RCMP chief Ken Floyd provided an update, where he confirmed that ten people had died – including the shooter – and at least 25 others had been injured.
Floyd also confirmed that the shooting unfolded at two separate locations. Two people were found dead at a nearby home.
