Here's what we know, and don't know:

• Police say an attacker killed nine people in the community of Tumbler Ridge, before taking their own life
• Six victims were found dead in a local secondary school, while a seventh died on the way to hospital; the body of the attacker was also found at the school
• Another two bodies were found in a nearby residence
• A shelter-in-place alert sent during the attack identified the suspect as a "female in a dress with brown hair"
• Officials say they know the attacker's identity, but so far have not publicly revealed their name or gender
• Police also have not identified the type of gun used in the attack, or the ages of the victims who died
• The connection between the school and the residence has also yet to be revealed

Mark Carney has suspended his planned trip to Germany following the school shooting in British Columbia, the PM's office says, according to Reuters.

The planned trip was to a Munich Security Conference that is usually held over a few days, and is planned to host more than 60 heads of state and government.

The talks are expected to cover everything from artificial intelligence, critical supply chains, support for Ukraine and Nato.
