The\u00a0Royal Canadian Mounted Police\u00a0have identified the 18-year-old man who shot and killed six people at a school in British Columbia, critically injuring two, and wounding about 25 others. He identified as a woman, authorities have confirmed.\n<\/p>\n

Pray for your fellow intercessor.<\/h4>\n

Jesse Van Rootselaar first killed his mother, 39, and his 11-year-old stepbrother at their family home in the remote community of Tumbler Ridge, before targeting Tumbler Ridge Secondary School Tuesday.\n<\/p>\n

At the school, he shot and killed a 39-year-old female teacher, three 12-year-old female students, and two male students, aged 12 and 13.\u00a0As police arrived, he shot at them, but officers found the shooter dead from an apparent suicide.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do believe the suspect acted alone \u2026 it would be too early to speculate on motive,\u201d Deputy Commissioner Dwayne McDonald said in a press conference Wednesday.\n<\/p>\n

McDonald said Van Rootselaar was born male but began to identify as female six years ago,\u00a0Reuters reported.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, that is the information that we have,\u201d RCMP Sergeant Vanessa Munn told\u00a0The Daily Signal.\n<\/p>\n

The shooting ranks among the deadliest in Canadian history.\n<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Mark Carney postponed his trip to Europe and ordered flags on government buildings to be flown at half-mast for the next seven days.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, it\u2019s a time to come together, as Canadians always do in these situations, these terrible situations, to support each other, to mourn together and to grow together,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n

In April 2020, a 51-year-old man disguised in a police uniform killed 22 people in Nova Scotia in multiple shootings and set fire to homes, before police killed him.\n<\/p>\n

Transgender-Motivated Violence and Threats<\/h2>\n

While Van Rootselaar\u2019s motive remains unclear, this shooting comes after a string of violence and threats from perpetrators who identified as transgender or supported transgenderism.\n<\/p>\n

In September,\u00a0Utah Gov. Spencer Cox confirmed\u00a0reports that 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who has been charged with Charlie Kirk\u2019s murder, was living with a boyfriend who identifies as transgender. Robinson reportedly confessed to his boyfriend that he committed the murder.\n<\/p>\n

Authorities reportedly confirmed that 23-year-old Robin Westman, a male born Robert Westman, opened fire at\u00a0Annunciation Church in Minneapolis\u00a0in August, killing two children and injuring 17 others.\n<\/p>\n

The man who allegedly shot and killed Charlie Kirk was dating a man who identifies as a woman, and he started to support \u201ctrans rights\u201d in recent years, his mother told authorities.\n<\/p>\n

This is the latest in a line of violence, however.\n<\/p>\n

Audrey Elizabeth Hale, 28, reportedly identified as male. She shot and killed three children and three adults on March 27, 2023, at The Covenant School, a Presbyterian school\u00a0in Nashville, Tennessee. Police fatally shot her during the attack.\n<\/p>\n

According to a court document obtained by The Daily Signal, the man who tried to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in June 2022 identifies as a woman. Nicholas Roske, who was 29 when he\u00a0pleaded guilty in April, identifies as Sophie Roske in a court document.\n<\/p>\n

On May 7, 2019, then-16-year-old\u00a0Maya \u201cAlec\u201d McKinney\u00a0and her 19-year-old fellow student, Devon Erickson, opened fire at STEM School Highlands Ranch in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, killing one and injuring eight. Both have been sentenced to\u00a0life in prison. McKinney, a female, identifies as male.\n<\/p>\n

In June 2024, a judge\u00a0sentenced Jason Lee Willie, a man who identifies as a woman and goes by Alexia, to one year in prison after he pleaded guilty to threatening to injure people across state lines. Willie, a resident of Nashville, Illinois, confessed to threatening to rape girls in girls\u2019 restrooms, carry out mass shootings at schools, and bomb churches.\n<\/p>\n
