      „McDonald identifies the suspect as Jesse VanRootselaar, 18, of Tumbler Ridge.“

      „McDonald says two firearms, a long gun and a modified handgun were recovered by responding officers. The role they played will be a significant part of the investigation, he says.“

      This shooting has caused irreparable harm to an entire town and will bring a lot of heat to a portion of society that already deals with so much undeserved crap.

      Just an unbelievably selfish act that will further divide Canadians.

      An 18 year old male with a history of mental health problems involving police, including some with weapons.

      Who could’ve seen this coming?

      The main question I have is how was a mentally unwell person allowed to live in a house with free access to guns? Is there a gap in legislation, where gun owners should be required to keep firearms locked up or abandon them if a member of the household has mental health issues or is not allowed to own guns for other reasons?

      I appreciate the headline does not have the name of the shooter, though sad that the tag line does.

      Remember those that were killed, forget those that do the killing. Don’t let their name live in infamy

      “McDonald said police had responded to Van Rootselaar’s home for mental health-related calls over the last several years. He said some of the calls dealt with weapons.”

      “He said firearms were seized from the home and the lawful owner of the firearms petitioned to have them returned, and they were.”

      Something I’ve always said about our gun control laws (or at least the ones we had around 2014) was that they were actually pretty good, but:

      X

      1. the enforcement was often lacking

      2. Not enough was done on illegal gun smuggling

      X

      This is classic case of number 1 here. There are multiple provisions to get legal guns out of high risk homes/people – the actual enforcement is sometimes very very bad. In this case. – the system worked! Until someone dropped the ball.

      In this case – classic RCMP dropping the ball again.

      X

      In the coming days you’ll undoubtedly hear lots about more gun laws, which will spark all kinds of debate I’m sure. Don’t lose sight of the above – we already had a mechanism that successfully took the firearms out of a high-risk home – but then they gave them back. What happened? **Thats** the issue.
