A mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, has left at least 10 people dead and over 25 others wounded, Canadian police said on Wednesday. The rampage unfolded at a secondary school and a nearby home in the remote northern community, shocking residents and officials alike. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said six people were found dead inside Tumbler Ridge Secondary School. Another victim died while being taken to a hospital. Two additional bodies were discovered at a residence believed to be linked to the shooting. Police said the suspected shooter was also found dead at the scene, apparently from a self-inflicted injury. Authorities told reporters they do not believe there is any ongoing threat or additional suspects. About 25 people have been injured, with some suffering serious or life-threatening wounds. Several victims were airlifted to hospitals while others were treated at local medical facilities. Tumbler Ridge is a small town of roughly 2,400 residents in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, more than 1,100 km (685 miles) north of Vancouver. Local schools, including the elementary school, were quickly placed on lockdown when the incident began around 1:20 p.m. local time on Tuesday. Police issued an emergency alert urging residents to shelter in place as they worked to secure the scene. The alert was later lifted after several hours when authorities deemed the danger over. The RCMP said it had identified the suspected shooter but declined to release the person’s name or any other personal details. Witness descriptions and official notices described the suspect as a female wearing a dress, though police would not confirm this in the initial news briefing. British Columbia Premier David Eby called the event an “unimaginable tragedy” and said the province would support the community. “Our hearts are in Tumbler Ridge tonight with the families of those who have lost loved ones,” he said. National leaders also expressed sorrow. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney wrote that he was “devastated” by the shootings and offered condolences to families and first responders. School officials said they would keep both the secondary and elementary schools closed for the week while recovery and counseling support services are arranged. This attack is among the deadliest mass shootings in recent Canadian history and has prompted renewed discussions about gun violence and community safety across the country. Canada has seen several mass shootings over the years, including the 2020 Nova Scotia rampage that killed 22 people.
Farhan’s Big Knock Lifts Pakistan Over USA: Now All Eyes Turn to India Clash
Pakistan rode a commanding performance by Sahibzada Farhan and a disciplined spin attack to a strong win over the United States in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup on Tuesday. The 29-year-old opener smashed a brisk 73 off 41 balls to help Pakistan post a competitive 190/9 at the Sinhalese Sports Club. Farhan’s innings featured five sixes and six fours, while partner Babar Azam scored a lively 46 off 32. Spinners Usman Tariq (3-27) and Shadab Khan (2-26) then throttled the USA batting lineup, restricting them to 158/8 and sealing a 32-run victory for Pakistan. After his match-winning knock, Farhan turned focus toward Pakistan’s looming blockbuster clash with arch-rival India in the T20 World Cup group stage this Sunday. “The match is on and we are in a confident mood,” he said, underlining Pakistan’s growing momentum. Pakistan will enter that contest with belief. They now have two wins from two in Group A, including a narrow three-wicket victory over the Netherlands. Meanwhile, their upcoming opponents, India, have already played and beaten Namibia. Pakistan pick up further momentum at the #T20WorldCup with a second win on a trot ⚡Watch highlights from every match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup on https://t.co/5AuGFN3SRa 📹https://t.co/YGyFhCBd4i— T20 World Cup (@T20WorldCup) February 10, 2026 Farhan is no stranger to big stages against India. During the 2025 Asia Cup, he faced intense scrutiny after a controversial celebration against the Indians. That gesture — mimicking his bat as firing shots — prompted complaints and debate in both countries. At a subsequent press event, Farhan defended his reaction as spontaneous and not planned. “I usually don’t celebrate fifties, but this time a new idea came to my mind and I expressed it differently,” he said. “It was just a new style of expression.” India and Pakistan have one of world cricket’s most intense rivalries, shaped by decades of history and political tensions. During the Asia Cup, India’s Suryakumar Yadav dedicated a win to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack, a move that was widely covered and discussed. Pakistan’s record against India in ICC events has been modest in recent years. In T20 World Cups before this edition, Pakistan had won only once in eight matches against their rivals. Still, Pakistan’s confidence appears high. With Farhan in form and momentum on their side, they believe they can make an impact when the long-awaited showdown arrives.
