   Canadian education teaches children to lie about what they see.   
      
   Gunperson = male queer in a dress.   
      
   Person in dress = mentally ill male queer.   
      
   The deranged high school dropout who murdered his mother and stepbrother   
   before killing six people at a British Columbia high school has been   
   identified as 18-year-old transgender ex-student Jesse Van Rootselaar.   
      
   The horrifying attack, one of the deadliest shootings in Canada’s   
   history, began Tuesday at a residence in the sleepy rural community of   
   Tumbler Ridge, in the western province, and concluded at Tumbler Ridge   
   Secondary School — where authorities say Van Rootselaar died of a   
   self-inflicted gunshot wound.   
      
   Van Rootselaar was identified Wednesday as the shooter by Royal Canadian   
   Mounted Police Deputy Commissioner Dwayne McDonald, who said he was   
   “born a biological male … who approximately six years ago began to   
   transition to female, and identified as female.”   
      
   Asked by a reporter whether he believes there was any correlation   
   between Van Rootselaar identifying as transgender and the shooting,   
   McDonald said it’s “too early to say.”   
      
   McDonald said police had visited the family home on multiple occasions   
   over the last several years due to concerns over Van Rootselaar’s mental   
   health.   
      
   On more than one occasion, he was taken into custody for assessment   
   under the Mental Health Act, he said.   
      
   Two years ago, firearms were seized from the home, but the lawful owner   
   — who McDonald did not name — got them back after petitioning to have   
   them returned.   
      
   Two firearms were recovered at the school, including a long gun and a   
   modified handgun, but it was not immediately clear whether they were the   
   weapons that were previously confiscated and returned.   
      
   An initial alert issued about an active shooter at the school Tuesday   
   afternoon described the shooter as a “female in a dress.”   
      
   The police superintendent later described the shooter as a “gunperson”   
   in a press briefing.   
      
   Six people were found dead inside the school, and the bodies of his   
   mother, 39, and stepbrother, 11, were discovered in a local residence,   
   cops said.   
      
   CTV News identified Van Rootselaar’s mother as Jennifer Strang, and   
   initially reported the shooter as having the same last name.   
      
   The victims included one female teacher, three female students and two   
   male students.   
      
   Their identities were not revealed, but McDonald said they ranged in age   
   from 13 to 17. Most of the students who were killed were found in the   
   library, with one found in a stairwell, McDonald said.   
      
   Van Rootselaar was a former student who dropped out approximately four   
   years ago, according to McDonald. How he gained access to the building   
   during school hours was not immediately known.   
      
   Approximately 25 others were wounded in the shooting, a few seriously   
   injured, but most of whom were being treated for non-life-threatening   
   injuries at a local hospital.   
      
   The Tumbler Ridge Royal Canadian Mounted Police responded to reports of   
   a shooting around 1:20 p.m. local time on Tuesday.   
      
   The school went into lockdown, and students and teachers barricaded   
   themselves in classrooms for more than two hours before they were   
   escorted out.   
      
   The RCMP’s emergency public alert was cancelled at 5:45 p.m. local time,   
   as they believed there was no longer a threat to the public.   
      
   The shooting is the latest in a number of mass shootings committed by   
   individuals who identify as transgender over the past decade.   
      
   Robin Westman, the Minneapolis school shooter who killed two kids and   
   injured 21 others last August, identified as a transgender woman. Audrey   
   Hale, who killed six people at Nashville’s Convent School in 2023, was   
   also transgender. Alec McKinney, who took part in the 2019 Colorado   
   charter school shooting, was born female but identified as male. Snochia   
   Moseley, a transgender (male to female), murdered three and injured   
   three others in 2018 in a Maryland Rite Aid warehouse shooting. Only two   
   shootings in Canadian history have claimed more victims.   
      
   The second-deadliest rampage in the country’s history was the Montreal
