At a news conference on Wednesday, the commanding officer for the RCMP in B.C. said five of the eight victims killed in a mass shooting in the community of Tumbler Ridge were students aged 12 and 13, and a sixth was an educator. CBC's Ian Hanomansing reports the latest from Tumbler Ridge. B.C. deputy premier and Attorney General Niki Sharma describes how the province is responding. The provincial MLA that represents Tumbler Ridge, Larry Neufeld, explains why he says English words don't exist to describe the grief. Then, Colchester Country, N.S., Mayor Christine Blair uses her community's experience from the 2020 shooting that killed 22 people to advise Tumbler Ridge: 'It will be surreal and it will be surreal for a while.'
