OTTAWA, Feb 12 (Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will attend a vigil on Friday in the remote British Columbia town of Tumbler Ridge, where nine people died in one of the country's worst mass shootings, his office said on Thursday.
Police say the suspect's firearms licence expired two years ago, and exactly who owned the guns used in the attack is unclear.
Eight people, including six children, were killed in a deadly mass shooting that rocked Tumbler Ridge, a small, close-knit community located in British Columbia. Among those killed Tuesday are Abel Mwansa Jr. and Kylie May, both 12, according to their families. Police are yet to release the victims’ identities.
Tumbler Ridge sits at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in northeastern British Columbia, and is surrounded by expansive mountain ranges and a geological park.
