The family of Kylie Smith, a victim of a tragic mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, announced the cancellation of her funeral service after they received disturbing death threats. Kylie's parents, Lance Younge and Jenny Geary, shared their ordeal on social media, expressing their grief and frustration at the ongoing harassment they are facing. They highlighted that their family is not alone, stating that they are at least the third family connected to the victims to experience such threats since the incident.

On February 10, five students were tragically killed in what became a devastating shooting scenario at the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School. The shooter initially targeted Kylie's family, killing her mother and half-brother before moving to the school where more lives were lost. This incident shocked the close-knit community of Tumbler Ridge, which has a population of less than 3,000, and left many residents grappling with the traumatic aftermath.

As police continue their investigation into the threats made against the families, the situation underscores the challenges that grief-stricken families must navigate in the wake of such horrifying events. The public display of support for the victims contrasts sharply with the harassment reported by the families, suggesting a complex and painful environment for those affected by this tragedy.
