Canadian authorities have identified an 18-year-old as the suspect in a mass shooting in a remote community in British Columbia that left nine people dead and dozens injured. The suspect, Jesse Van Rootselaar, killed her mother and stepbrother before opening fire at a local school, police said.
Dwayne McDonald, a deputy commissioner at the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in British Columbia, said the suspect was biologically male at birth and began transitioning to female six years ago. He noted that the police would continue to refer to her as female.
