Canadian police have identified 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar as the suspect in a mass shooting that left eight people dead in the small town of Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia. Authorities say the attacker targeted a secondary school and a nearby home before dying at the scene.

Officials confirmed the suspect had prior interactions with police linked to mental health concerns. Prime Minister Mark Carney expressed national grief, as investigators continue to piece together the motive behind one of Canada’s deadliest recent attacks.
