The outlet says it spoke with the shooter\u2019s uncle, who confirmed the person was Jesse Strang and that Strang died in the attack. Canadian authorities had not publicly released the shooter\u2019s identity at the time, but RCMP sources indicated the deaths may be self-inflicted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The attack left at least nine people dead and more than 25 injured. Six victims were found inside the school, one died on the way to the hospital, and two others were found at a residence believed to be connected to the incident. British Columbia\u2019s premier expressed that the event was deeply distressing and urged the community to support one another.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Early in the investigation, police described the suspect as a \u201cfemale in a dress with brown hair,\u201d but later RCMP officials referred to the shooter as a \u201cdeceased gunperson,\u201d a phrasing that drew scrutiny. By around 1 a.m. local time, officials had not released the shooter\u2019s identity or age.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Juno News asserted it had reviewed social media and online activity connected to Jesse Strang, including a post from July 2021 by Jennifer Strang (thought to be one of the victims) promoting her son\u2019s YouTube channel. The social media profile reportedly used she\/her pronouns and showed imagery associated with transgender identity, including a transgender pride flag.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The report notes that, if accurate, Strang would be among a small number of transgender-identifying individuals linked to high-profile school shootings in North America in recent years, referencing other cases in Nashville (2023) and Minneapolis (2025). It also cites a 2025 analysis suggesting a substantial share of mass school shootings since 2020 involved transgender-identifying suspects.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The article contains media commentary and online posts that discuss the shooter\u2019s purported gender identity and related sensational framing, which are not independently verified by authorities.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like, I can tighten this into an even shorter summary or tailor it to a specific tone (neutral, explanatory, or critical)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2568725,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Michael-Featured-Image-660.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[70371,3957,73585],"class_list":["post-2568724","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-breaking-news-2","tag-canada","tag-mass-shooting-2"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Michael-Featured-Image-660.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2568724","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2568724"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2568724\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2568728,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2568724\/revisions\/2568728"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2568725"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2568724"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2568724"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2568724"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
