Eight people, including a suspect, are dead after a shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in B.C.'s Peace region on Tuesday afternoon. Police say two other people were found dead at a home in the community, while about two dozen were hurt at the school.   

Here is a look at some other school shootings in Canada:

Les Racines de vie Montessori, Gatineau, Que.: On April 5, 2013, two men were killed during a shooting at the school's daycare. The shooter was identified as Robert Charron. Thirty-eight-year-old Neil Galliou was killed before Charron took his own life. Charron told staff to take the 53 children to safety before he opened fire.

W.C. Jeffreys Collegiate Institute, Toronto: On May, 23, 2007, 15-year-old Jordan Manners was found in a hallway with single gunshot wound to the chest. He later died in hospital. Two teens were charged with first-degree-murder and were later acquitted.
