Overview
- The B.C. government says 14 single‑wide units are arriving this week on the elementary school grounds, with bathroom trailers first, classroom units Tuesday and Wednesday, and setup expected to take several days; more spacious double‑wide units will follow.
- The school district has said students will not return to the existing high school site for now and will instead follow a phased, trauma‑informed plan supported by counsellors.
- RCMP have finished forensic examinations at the home and school and released the site, while investigators continue tracing the weapons, including an unregistered shotgun used at the residence and a primary school firearm of unknown origin; the suspect’s gun licence had expired.
- The Independent Investigations Office has confirmed it is investigating following the police response as the shooter died of an apparent self‑inflicted wound.
- Families report that 19‑year‑old survivor Paige Hoekstra may return home soon after surgery, while 12‑year‑old Maya Gebala remains gravely ill at BC Children’s Hospital with limited but encouraging signs noted by caregivers.
