The suspect in a Canada school shooting was an 18-year-old who had a history of police visits to her home to check on her mental health, authorities said Wednesday, a day after the attack that killed eight people in a remote part of British Columbia.
Police said Jesse Van Rootselaar was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted wound following the assault on a school in the small mountain community of Tumbler Ridge.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police Deputy Commissioner Dwayne McDonald said Van Rootselaar first killed her mother and stepbrother at the family home before attacking the nearby school. She had a history of mental health contacts with police, he said.
Is this the first case of a female school shooter?
You know that Boomtown Rats song “I don’t like Mondays” it’s based off a female school shooter from the 70’s but yes female school shooters are rare. Trans femme shooters are even rarer with the majority trans shooters being trans men.
Spree killing is almost entirely a male coded pastime. Serial killers have slightly higher rates of female participation. This event is quite a statistical anomaly. Canada has only had 10 school related shootings that counted as spree killings in its entire history and this one was commited by a demographic that is such a narrow slice of the pie chart of total spree killers worldwide that it is barely a hairswidth slice. Winning the lottery thrice has better odds.
The facts don’t matter to certain people. Obviously trans bad, trans will shoot more people, have to be stopped Blabla.
It’s obviously not the guns, it’s the people the medication they are on etc.
second one in the past year.
Trans woman shooter, so conservatives will be triggered
Despite the fact that trans people are statistically under-represented among mass shooters.
But the right never lets facts get in the way of their feelings.
It started immediately :(:
