Police visited the home of the 18-year-old suspect in the Tumbler Ridge school shooting multiple times due to mental health issues prior to the tragic event.
In a harrowing incident in the small town of Tumbler Ridge, Canada, police confirmed that they had responded to mental health concerns at the residence of the teenage suspect, Jesse Van Rootselaar, 18, multiple times in the lead-up to one of the deadliest school shootings in Canadian history. The tragic event unfolded when Van Rootselaar opened fire in a school, resulting in the deaths of six individuals, including a teacher and five children, and leaving around 25 others injured, with two in critical condition. This has prompted widespread discussions about mental health support and gun access, particularly given the young age of the suspect and the implications of early intervention.
