Feb. 10 (UPI) -- Ten people are dead, including the suspect gunman, and dozens are injured following a shooting at a high school and a residence in rural British Columbia on Tuesday, Canadian authorities said.
Six people were found dead at the high school in Tumbler Ridge, a town of about 2,400 people located in northeastern British Columbia near the Alberta border, while a seventh victim died while being transported to the hospital, Ken Floyd, chief superintendent of the RCMP's North District, said in a press conference.
Authorities said the suspected shooter was among those found dead at the scene. Floyd said the unidentified gunman died from a suspected self-inflicted wound.
Two victims who were discovered wounded at the school were airlifted to hospitals with serious or life-threatening injuries, Floyd said. Another roughly 25 people were being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
