School officials announced that classes would be suspended indefinitely as the district reviews safety procedures and cooperates with investigators. Plans are underway to provide long-term mental health resources for students and staff.
The tragedy has sparked renewed national conversation about school security, mental health services, and firearm access. Advocacy groups on both sides of the gun policy debate have called for urgent discussions in the wake of the attack.
As the community mourns, memorials have begun appearing outside the school gates. Flowers, handwritten notes, and candles now line the sidewalks where children once gathered each morning.
Authorities have asked anyone with information about the incident to contact investigators. Further updates are expected as officials confirm identities of the victims and notify next of kin.
More details on the developing investigation can be found in national coverage from CBC News and ongoing updates from CTV’s Canadian news desk.
