The Royal Canadian Mounted Police declined to identify the shooter or clarify details about the gun, such as its model and whether it was registered, with a spokesperson telling CBS News on Wednesday that additional updates "will be provided as information becomes available."

The school shooting was first reported at 1:20 p.m. Pacific Time at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, the RCMPsaid in a news release.

Authorities responded to find six people dead inside the school, the RCMP said, and a seventh person died while being transported to a hospital.

Police responded to a second crime scene at a residence that is believed to have been linked to the school shooting, where two more people were found dead, the RCMP reported. The exact nature of their injuries were not immediately disclosed.

Two more people from the shooting at the school were airlifted to area hospitals with serious or life-threatening injuries, police said.

The suspected shooter was found dead in the school from a "self-inflicted injury," Canadian police said.

About 25 others were assessed at a local medical center for non-life-threatening injuries, the RCMP said.

RCMP Superintendent Ken Floyd told reporters that investigators had identified a female suspect but would not release a name, and that the shooter's motive remained unclear. He added that police were still investigating how the victims were connected to the shooter.

The Peace River South School District initially said Tuesday that there was a "lockdown and secure and hold" at both the secondary school and the Tumbler Ridge Elementary School. It later said both schools would be closed through the rest of the week.

The provincial government website lists Tumbler Ridge Secondary School as having 175 students from Grades 7 to 12.

Speaking with Canadian station CBC Radio on Wednesday, Tumbler Ridge Mayor Darry Krakowka described the community of about 2,700 people as "one big family" where "everybody knows everybody." He did not elaborate on the identity of the shooter and said the RCMP was still investigating.

The office of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he was suspending a planned trip to Halifax, Nova Scotia and Munich, Germany. He was set to announce a long-awaited defense industrial strategy in Halifax on Wednesday before heading to Europe for the Munich Security Conference.

"I am devastated by today's horrific shootings in Tumbler Ridge, B.C.," Carneysaidin a statement on social media. "My prayers and deepest condolences are with the families and friends who have lost loved ones to these horrific acts of violence."

David Eby, premier of British Columbia,wrote: "Our hearts are in Tumbler Ridge tonight with the families of those who have lost loved ones. Government will ensure every possible support for community members in the coming days, as we all try to come to terms with this unimaginable tragedy."

Canada's gun violence record

Mass shootings are relatively rare in Canada, especially in school settings. It has been nearly four decades since one of the country's most notorious massacres, when a shooter killed 14 female students and wounded 13 others at Ecole Polytechnique University in Montreal, Quebec, in 1989,according to the Canadian government.

Canada's deadliest attack happened more recently. In April 2020, 22 people were killed in a 12-hour shooting rampage that touched multiple cities in the eastern province of Nova Scotia, Canadian news outletCBC Newsreported. The government passedan assault weapons banin response.

In January 2017, a shooting at a mosque in Quebec City, the capital of Quebec province, left six people dead and 19 others wounded,accordingto the office of former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

A year before that, in January 2016, a student opened fire at a remote high school in La Loche, Saskatchewan, killing two and injuring seven, after first killing two of his cousins at home, according toCBC News.

Only a handful of significant acts of gun violence took place in Canada between 1996 and 2014, including: a massacre at a wedding inVernon, British Columbia,during which a man killed nine of his relatives; an attack inOttawa, Ontario, in which a former employee of the city's transit service shot and killed four of his colleagues; and separate shootings of police officers inMayerthorpe, Alberta, andMoncton, New Brunswick, which happened roughly a decade apart.

Police also wounded the assailant in a gunbattle at the Patongprathankiriwat School in Songkhla province before taking him into custody to end the standoff, the provincial government said in a statement. The attack took place in the late afternoon shortly after classes were dismissed.

The school's director was severely wounded by gunshots in the attack, and a student also was injured by gunshots, while another student was injured while jumping off a building trying to flee the scene, the provincial government said.

The suspect was identified by local officials as a 17-year-old with a history of drug abuse and mental health problem.

Officials were still investigating the motive for the attack.

Gun violenceisn't uncommon in Thailand, which has one of the highest rates of gun ownership and gun-related deaths in Asia, though mass shootings are rare.

Data collected in 2017 by the groups Small Arms Survey and GunPolicy.org. found that there were about 10.3 guns per 100 people in Thailand, compared with less than one per 100 in neighboring Malaysia. If illegal guns are added to the total, Thailand's rate is 15.1.

In October 2022,a police sergeant who was fired from his jobkilled 36 people, including two dozen toddlers, at a day care center in the small northeastern town of Uthai Sawan. The shocking gun and knife attack spurred calls for tighter gun controls, though there have been no major reforms.

In February 2020, a disgruntled Thai soldier angry over a financial dispute with his commanding officer went ona shooting rampage in the northeastern city of Nakhon Ratchasima, killing 29 people and wounding dozens of others before police shot him dead after an overnight siege at a major shopping mall.

Initially designed to ‌cement Gaza's ceasefire, Trump sees the Board of Peace taking a wider role in resolving global conflicts ​which some countries fear means it could become a rival to the United Nations.

This along with the fact that Russia and Belarus were invited to join means many Western countries have taken a cautious approach.

"Taking into account certain national doubts regarding the shape ‌of the board, under these ⁠circumstances Poland will not join the work of the Board of Peace, but we will analyse it," Prime Minister Donald Tusk told ⁠a government meeting.

"Our relations with the United States have been and will remain our priority, so if the circumstances change that will enable joining the work of the Board, ​we do ​not rule out any scenario."

Tusk was due ​to meet nationalist rival President Karol ‌Nawrocki later on Wednesday at a National Security Council meeting, where the Board of Peace was on the agenda.

Meanwhile, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani also confirmed on Wednesday that Italy would not sign up.

"We cannot join the Board of Peace because there is an insurmountable constitutional barrier on Italy's side," he told Sky TG24 news channel.

"However, ‌if we need to work on reconstruction ​efforts aimed at ensuring peace in the Middle East, ​we are ready to do ​so," he added.

Under Italy's constitution, the country can only join international ‌organisations on equal terms with other states -- ​a condition that ​Rome says is not met by the board's current statute which gives Trump extensive executive powers.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who is close to Trump, said ​last month she had ‌asked him to amend the terms of the Board of Peace to ​enable Italy to join.

Originally, it seemedthe 2025 seasonwouldbe Rodgers' last. He acknowledged he was "pretty sure" that would be the case during a June appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show."

However, Rodgers appeared to enjoy his first season in Pittsburgh and helped lead the Steelers to an AFC North title. Could that experience – plus the Steelers' decision tohire Mike McCarthyafterMike Tomlin stepped downfollowing 19 seasons with the team – convince Rodgers to come back for another campaign?

Here are the latest rumors and reports about Rodgers' future as he mulls his future ahead of the 2026 NFL season.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers fumbles as he is hit by the Houston Texans' Will Anderson Jr. The Texans' Sheldon Rankins (90) returned the fumble for a touchdown as Houston went on to a 30-6 wild-card playoff win at Acrisure Stadium on Jan. 12, 2026.

Is Aaron Rodgers returning to Steelers?

Rodgers has not yet announced his plans for the 2026 NFL season, butNFL Media's Tom Pelissero reported"the odds are increasing" for the 42-year-old to return to the Steelers for a second season.

Pelissero outlined during NFL Network's Super Bowl pregame show on Feb. 8 that Rodgers has had discussions with new Steelers coachMike McCarthy– who coached him for 13 years with the Green Bay Packers – as well as wide receiver DK Metcalf as he mulls his future.

"The plan is for Rodgers to take a little bit more time, and everyone hopes [he] comes to a decision prior to the start of free agency in mid-March," Pelissero said.

Pelissero's report comes after McCarthy expressed a desire to work with Rodgers again during his introductory news conference on Jan. 27.

McCarthy saidRodgers would "definitely" be the team's best-case scenario at quarterbackand the 62-year-old coach was impressed with how the veteran signal-caller performed in his first season in Pittsburgh.

"I watched most of the Pittsburgh games on TV and I thought he was a great asset for the team," McCarthy said of Rodgers.

Aaron Rodgers contract

With that in mind, Pelissero noted the lone remaining obstacle for Rodgers' return – aside from his decision – would be having the two parties agree to a contract, as Rodgers is set to be a free agent in 2026.

Last season, Rodgers signed a one-year deal with the Steelers in June. His deal had a base value of $10 million and up to $13.65 million in incentives.

It isn't clear whether Rodgers would demand a similar sum in 2026. He has made just over $394.3 million in career earnings, according toSpotrac.com.

Regardless, there appears to be genuine interest from both sides in a potential reunion for the 2026 season.

"At this point, it would not be a surprise if Rodgers is back in Pittsburgh," Pelissero said.

Britain Premier League Soccer

Despite leading Spurs to the round of 16 in the Champions League, Frank has overseen adesperate domestic campaign. A 2-1 loss to Newcastle on Tuesday was greeted by boos from the home fans and left Spurs still without a league win in 2026.

"The Club has taken the decision to make a change in the Men's Head Coach position and Thomas Frank will leave today," Tottenham said in a statement. "Thomas was appointed in June 2025, and we have been determined to give him the time and support needed to build for the future together.

"However, results and performances have led the Board to conclude that a change at this point in the season is necessary."

Frank failed to build on Brentford success

Frank's exit means Spurs are on the lookout for a sixth head coach in less than seven years since Mauricio Pochettino departed in 2019.

The Dane was appointed at the end of last season whenAnge Postecoglou was fireddespite leading Tottenham to itsfirst trophy in 17 yearsby winning the Europa League and securing Champions League qualification.

Frank had built up an impressive reputation for his work during a nine-year spell at Brentford when he established the modest London club as a Premier League force. But he was unable to repeat that success at Tottenham, where he won just seven of 26 games in the league.

Spurs' last league win was Dec. 28 and defeat at home to Newcastle extended a ruinous run to one win in 11 in England's top flight.

Spurs dropped to 16th in the standings on Tuesday and two places above the relegation zone.

Injuries proved costly

Frank was not helped by an extensive injury list that included star players James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Rodrigo Bentancur, Mohammed Kudus and Lucas Bergvall.

Captain Cristian Romero was also absent against Newcastle after being sent off in the previous game against Manchester United.

Frank said after defeat to Newcastle that he was "convinced" he would still be in charge for the next match against Arsenal later this month.

"If you do something right, you build something that can last," he said. "Of course, we are not in a top position now. Everyone knows — directors, ownership, myself — what position we are in, what we need to improve and what we need to do better. That is what we are working very hard on."

Back to the drawing board

Frank is not alone in failing to revive Tottenham. He followed in the footsteps of some of soccer's top coaches, including Antonio Conte and José Mourinho, who could not bring success to the North London club.

And even when Postecoglou managed to deliver major silverware and a place in the money-spinning Champions League, it wasn't enough to save his job.

Postecoglou paid the price for a woeful domestic campaign that saw Spurs finish in 17th-place — their lowest since the Premier League was founded in 1992.

League form has also proved costly for Frank, whose team was on fewer points than Postecoglou's at this stage last year.

The commemoration represented a split-screen view of life in Iran, with state television showing hundreds of thousands of people across the country attending pro-government rallies, which included the burning of American flags and cries of "Death to America!" The night before, as government-sponsored fireworks lit the dark sky, witnesses heard shouts from homes in the capital, Tehran, of "Death to the dictator!"

Meanwhile, President Masoud Pezeshkian got on stage at Azadi Square in Tehran and insisted that Iran is willing to negotiate over its nuclear program asfledgling nuclear talkswith the U.S. hang in the balance.

Whether the talks succeed remains an open question — and Mideast nations fear their collapse could plunge the region into another regional war. A top Iranian security official met Qatar's foreign minister in Doha Wednesday after earlier visiting Oman, which has mediated this latest round of negotiations. Just before the official's arrival, Qatar's ruling emir received a phone call from Trump.

In his speech at the anniversary ceremony, Pezeshkian said Iran was "not seeking nuclear weapons" and is "ready for any kind of verification." However, the United Nations' nuclear watchdog — the International Atomic Energy Agency — has been unable for months to inspect and verify Iran's nuclear stockpile.

"The high wall of mistrust that the United States and Europe have created through their past statements and actions does not allow these talks to reach a conclusion," Pezeshkian said. "At the same time, we are engaging with full determination in dialogue aimed at peace and stability in the region alongside our neighboring countries."

Commemoration overshadowed by crackdown

On Iranian state TV, authorities broadcast images of people taking to the streets across the country Wednesday to support the theocracy and its 86-year-old Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Others criticizedIran's exiled crown prince, Reza Pahlavi, who had been calling for anti-government protests.

"I am here to say we don't stop supporting our leader and our country as the Americans and Israelis are increasingly threatening" us, said Reza Jedi, a 43-year-old participant.

Iranian missiles were on display, as were fragments that authorities described as being from downed Israeli drones. Fake coffins draped in the American flag could also be seen, one bearing the picture of U.S. Navy Adm. Brad Cooper, the head of the American military's Central Command, which covers the Middle East.

Among Iran's 85 million people, there is a hard-line element of support for Iran's theocracy, including members of the powerful paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, which put down the protests last month in a bloody suppression that killed thousands and saw tens of thousands detained, according to activists.

Also, many Iranians often take part in pro-theocracy demonstrations as they are government employees or turn up to enjoy the carnival atmosphere of a government-sponsored holiday. Iran has 2.5 million government employees, with a fifth in Tehran alone.

While not directly addressing the bloodshed, Pezeshkian acknowledged the crackdown that began in earnest on Jan. 8 had "caused great sorrow."

"We are ashamed before the people, and we are obligated to assist all those who were harmed in these incidents," he said. "We are not seeking confrontation with the people."

One man sadly watched the commemoration from a sidewalk in Tehran, not taking part.

"I regularly participated in the rally in past years," said the man, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal. "But how can I do that now as the streets' asphalt were bloodied last month?"

A senior Iran official visits Qatar

As the commemoration took place, senior Iranian security official Ali Larijani left Oman for Qatar where he met with Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani. Qatar hosts a major U.S. military installation and one that Iran attacked in June afterthe U.S. bombed Iranian nuclear sitesduring the 12-day Iran-Israel war.

Qatar has also been a key negotiator in the past with Iran, with which it shares a massive offshore natural gas field in the Persian Gulf. Its state-run Qatar News Agency reported that ruling emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani spoke with Trump about "the current situation in the region and international efforts aimed at de-escalation and strengthening regional security and peace," without elaborating.

Speaking to the Russian state channel RT, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran still does "not have full trust for the Americans."

"Last time we negotiated, last June we were in the middle of negotiation then they decided to attack us and that was a very, very bad experience for us," Iran's top diplomat said. "We need to make sure that that scenario is not repeated and this is mostly up to America."

Despite that concern, Araghchi said it could be possible "to come to a better deal than Obama," referencing the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers Iran reached when former U.S. President Barack Obama was in office. Trump in his first term unilaterally withdrew America from the accord.

Trump suggests sending another carrier to the Mideast

The U.S. has moved theaircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, ships and warplanes to the Middle East to pressure Iran into an agreement and have the firepower necessary to strike the Islamic Republic should Trump choose to do so.

Already, U.S. forces haveshot down a dronethey said got too close to the Lincoln and came to the aid of a U.S.-flagged ship that Iranian forces tried to stop in the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf.

Trump told the news website Axios that he was considering sending a second carrier to the region. "We have an armada that is heading there and another one might be going," he said.

It remains unclear what carrier could go. The USS George H.W. Bush has left Norfolk, Virginia, according to U.S. Navy Institute News. The USS Gerald R. Ford remains in the Caribbean after the U.S. military raid that captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.

U.S Vice PresidentJD Vanceduring a visit to Baku, Azerbaijan said the focus has been on reaching a deal through negotiations, but not ruling out other options if talks break down.

"He's going to have a lot of options, because we have the most powerful military in the world," he said.

Associated Press writer Michelle L. Price in Baku, Azerbaijan, contributed to this report.
