Amman, Feb. 11 (Petra) – Jordan expressed its profound condolences and sympathies to the government and people of Canada following a tragic shooting at a secondary school in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, on Wednesday.

A foreign ministry spokesman affirmed the Kingdom’s full solidarity with Canada during this painful ordeal, offering heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims and wishing a swift recovery to the injured.

The incident resulted in the deaths of ten individuals, including the suspect. According to reports from CBC News, law enforcement discovered six bodies within the high school and two additional victims at a residence believed to be linked to the attack. Another victim succumbed to injuries while in transit to a medical facility. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) confirmed that the suspect was found deceased on-site from what appeared to be a self-inflicted wound.

Local medical centers are currently treating 25 individuals for various injuries sustained during the assault. Tumbler Ridge, a close-knit community of approximately 2,400 residents located over 1,000 kilometers north of Vancouver, remains under investigation as federal authorities work to determine the motive behind the rare occurrence of school violence in the country.
