At least 10 people were killed in a shooting in the Canadian province of British Columbia on Tuesday, CBC News reported, citing information later carried by Reuters.
Police said the shooting took place in a community in northeastern British Columbia, triggering a major emergency response. Residents were temporarily advised to stay indoors while law enforcement secured the area.
Authorities have not released details about the victims and have yet to confirm a motive for the attack. It also remains unclear whether the suspected shooter was among those killed.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said the situation has been contained and that there is no continuing threat to public safety. Investigators are continuing to examine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Canadian media described the attack as one of the deadliest episodes of gun violence in the province in recent years, leaving the local community in shock.
