Court documents reveal confusion around number of shooters in Tumbler Ridge killings
RCMP documents say the 18-year-old suspect was obsessed with guns and had mental health problems as investigators sought search warrants for devices and records.

- Police initially suspected two shooters at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School after receiving reports of a driver with apparent nickname "Steezy." Documents show officers discovered the suspect's mother and brother dead at the family home before the school attack.
