Mass shooter at Canadian elementary school tweeted antisemitic content 2 days before attack, ADL finds

JL;DR SUMMARY In a tragic mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar killed eight people, including family members and school personnel, before dying by suicide.

But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
