At least four people were killed and two injured in a shooting at a school in Saskatchewan, in one of the most deadly school attacks in Canada in almost three decades.
"This is every parent's worst nightmare," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told reporters in Davos, Switzerland, where he is attending the World Economic Forum. "We are grieving with the community."
One suspect opened fire in a rural high school in La Roche, a Dene native community of about 3,000 people in northern Saskatchewan Friday afternoon, according to police and local media reports. Earlier reports from police indicated five people were killed. One male suspect has been detained, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Superintendent Maureen Levy told reporters in televised comments.
"La Roche is devastated," Clearwater River Dene Chief Teddy Clark told the StarPhoenix newspaper in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
La Roche Community School has about 900 students from kindergarten to Grade 12.
This is one of the worst school shootings in Canada since 1989, when a man killed 14 women at Ecole Polytechnique, an engineering school in Montreal.
