At least eight people were killed, and another 25 were wounded in Tumbler Ridge, Canada. The small town in British Columbia was rocked by a school shooting by Jesse Van Rootselaar, 18, at their secondary school. None of the wounded sustained life-threatening injuries; Van Rootselaar was found on scene by police, dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police knew this family, having responded to calls for the past several years, at least over mental health emergencies. Van Rootselaar is transgender. The mother and step-sibling were also found dead inside their home.

You knew this was going to be a wild story once Canadian police described Van Rootselaar as a “gunperson.” Now, we have a Canadian news report warning people not to call Van Rootselaar a “gunman.” As RedState’s Bonchie aptly noted, this stuff makes MS Now look conservative. Initial reports had the suspect as a “woman in a dress.” This, coupled with the “gunperson” antics, made the outcome and reveal insanely predictable.
My favorite part about this Australian “news” tweet is that they forbid people from responding to correct their false claims that a murderous man is somehow a woman. https://t.co/2BBlJVjwO1
