Police reportedly visited the family home of Jesse Van Rootselaar — the alleged shooter in Wednesday's Tumbler Ridge school shooting — multiple times over several years due to mental health concerns, with Van Rootselaar being apprehended more than once under British Columbia's Mental Health Act for psychiatric assessment. The last visit, in spring 2025, was allegedly prompted by a risk of self-harm.
