Four dead in worst Canada school shooting in decade
Quote:
Four people were killed and others injured in a school shooting in a remote part of Saskatchewan on Friday.
Officials have not given a motivation for the shooting in La Loche, about 600 km (375 miles) north of the city of Saskatoon.
"This is every parent's worst nightmare," said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He was in Davos, Switzerland, for WEF.
Mass shootings are relatively rare in Canada, which has stricter gun laws than the United States.
In the country's worst school shooting, 14 college students were killed at Montreal's Ecole Polytechnique in 1989.
The latest shooting occurred in the high school, called the Dene Building, and another in Saskatchewan, Trudeau said.
Police took the suspect into custody outside the school and seized a gun.
La Loche acting Mayor Kevin Janvier told the Canadian Press the incident may have started at the suspect's home.
“I’m not 100 percent sure what’s actually happened but it started at home and ended at the school," Janvier said.
"We're just trying to pull together here and make sense of all this," Clark told CBC television. "It's not a pretty scene."
It's incidents like this that need to be forwarded to the United States. It's astounding that the lives lost at four (not to be disrespectful to those people) is one of the worst school shootings in Canada. FOUR. Surely this proves, as well as other countries like the UK with stricter gun laws, is a progressive means to stop gun crimes? When will the madness stop?

Jay Americans are way too capitalistic and proud to understand
And the ones that do want change are powerless. The NRA bribes the government
