TiphEret 1,320 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/la-loche-community-school-lock-down-jan22-1.3416143 Five people have died in a school shooting in the northern Saskatchewan community of La Loche, says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Two others are in critical condition, he said. "Obviously this is every parent's worst nightmare," Trudeau said Friday in a brief statement from Davos, Switzerland. A suspect is in custody, he said, and the situation was under control. Trudeau also thanked first responders who reacted "quickly and bravely" in what he called a "tragic and terrible day." 'There was lots of screaming.'- Noel Desjarlais, Grade 10 student La Loche is a community of about 3,000. The school is for grades 7 to 12. "I ran outside the school," Noel Desjarlais, a Grade 10 student at the school, told CBC News. "There was lots of screaming. There was about six, seven shots before I got outside. I believe there was more shots by the time I did get out." Five are dead and two critically wounded after the shooting at La Loche Community School in northern Saskatchewan. (Canadian Press) "Myself I'm fine," he said. "I ended up running and telling people get out the doors." Saskatchewan's air ambulance system has also tweeted it has been dispatched to La Loche, which is about 500 kilometres northwest of Prince Albert, Sask. An official from STARS said the service was dispatched from Saskatoon to La Loche at 1:35 p.m. CST. Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall also issued a statement, about the situation. "Words cannot express my shock and sorrow at the horrific events today in La Loche," Wall said. "My thoughts and prayers are with all the victims, their families and friends and all the people of the community. Thank you to the RCMP and all the emergency personnel who responded quickly to the shootings. Saskatchewan Education and Social Services will be available to provide all necessary crisis support and counselling services to the school and the community." NDP MP Georgina Jolibois also issued a statement Friday. "As the former mayor of La Loche, I am shocked and saddened by the shooting in the Dene Building at the La Loche Community School in my riding," her statement said. "The shooting hits close to home for me as my family members attend the school." She added that the community "has faced adversity in the past and we will persevere," adding that her thoughts and prayers were with everyone affected by the shooting.

Fatigay 21,211 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 F-ed up humans are everywhere. Only laws and controls can protect people from those ones. In the US, for example, some of those protections are not there, mostly in the name of "freedom".
