Canadian police have identified the suspect who carried out a school massacre in remote British Columbia as an 18-year old with a history of mental health problems.
Six people, including a teacher and five students, were killed in the attack on Tuesday in the town of Tumbler Ridge, in the foothills of the Rocky mountains. The suspect’s mother and step-brother were later found dead at the family home, police said. The body of the shooter, Jesse Van Rootselaar, was also found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
