Six additional people, not including the suspect, were found deceased inside the school.

Two victims were airlifted to hospital with serious or life-threatening injuries, and a third victim died being transported.

Police found another two bodies at a residence.

25 people have been injured, some of them seriously.

The Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney, said that he was devastated by the horrific shooting.

A view shared by Nina Krieger, the Minister for Public Safety in British Columbia.

The people of Tumbler Ridge remain in a state of crisis following one of the worst mass shootings in our province's and country's history.

This is a devastating day for a close-knit community, and the loss being felt is profound.

There are truly no words that can adequately describe the pain being carried tonight by parents, families, and loved ones of the victims.

British Columbians and people across the country are standing with the Tumbler Ridge community tonight.

Our North America correspondent, Peter Bowes, told me more about the police investigation.

Two locations.

Initially, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said it received a report of an active shooter at a school in this very small town, Tumbler Ridge, which lies in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

This was shortly after lunchtime.

There was an initial search of the school, and that's when six people were found dead.

A seventh died on Sunday.

And the authorities say another person believed to be the attacker also discovered dead inside that building from what appeared to be a self-inflicted injury.

But then, as you say, a second location as well.

And they say the authorities believe that...

A nearby home was that second location where two bodies were found.
