Arrest made in U.S. related to Tumbler Ridge school shooting

U.S. authorities say a person has been arrested in connection with the Feb. 10 mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C.

Law enforcement officials in Washington state said Tuesday a 30-year-old western Washington resident was arrested and charged with conspiracy to murder persons in a foreign country.

Eight people were killed in shootings at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and a nearby home in the northeastern B.C. community.

The victims included six children and two women.

RCMP previously identified the shooter as 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar, who police said died from a self-inflicted injury.

Officials are set to hold a press conference at 12 p.m. PDT.

More to come.
