@chelseamackenzie50: New details on the Tumbler Ridge Shooting where a Trans Person with severe mental health issues shot 6 individuals plus their Mother and Step Brother. This person was KNOWN to police, assessed many times and released, guns were taken from the home and RETURNED!!!! This was preventable people. This is so much more then who the shooter was and the victims are. This is another failure of our health and mental health system! I am so sad that this has happened but let's be real. Change needs to come from this! Really change government change, school changes, support changes, resource changes. let this never happen again! prayers and thoughts go out to the families and the more we fight for change the safer our children and youth will be. #bccanada #MentalHealthAwareness #tumblerridge #massshooting #update
1. I haven’t seen any confirmation that the person was even on HRT. 2. The biggest issues with this particular case - the laws need to be changed to make the return of seized firearms more difficult, and the accessibility to firearms in the first place. Whoever owned these firearms and decided it was a good idea to petition the court for their return, and to continue keeping firearms in a household with someone with serious mental health issues, is a huge part of the blame here. Why anyone would think that’s a good idea is beyond me.

This 18 year old, I believe may have been evaluated many times, but I think no mental health professionals ever followed up on him. He was 12 when he started to transition. I think kids should be of legal age before they can start to transition. They say are brain doesn't mature til we were 25.
The bottom line is Jesse was severely mentally ill and the Rcmp should never have given those weapons back. The police knew how mentally ill he was and no one should have appealed to get those weapons back. I heard it was the mother who got the weapons back. I know a few people who had issues and weapons were banned from being in their homes.
Jesse began transitioning at 12 and quit school at 14 and then at 18 did this horrific crime. What was Jesse doing for the past 6 years.
The police need to give us an honest answer as to why they would give the weapons back in a home with an unstable person. Why!!!!!

Hmmmmm!! I really don’t understand how a mother could petition a court to give the g..s back to the family knowing how serious her son’s mental health was!! The judge that released them has to live with the decision of giving g..s back to this family!!

Speak the truth the therapists are afraid to say: gender dysphoria is a mental illness, and until we treat it like one (again), the bodies will keep piling up." People who just want to live their lives don't force others to celebrate their lifestyle choices.

As I heard they got guns back due to petitioning the courts, so was it police or the courts that are responsible for the guns being in the home?

The court would have been petitioned and the police would have followed the order to return.

The police don’t give the guns back. A judge or JP approves the return of the firearms.

Gonna redirect you on the firearms. Evidence is that legally owned firearms WERE removed and returned. Evidence is that weapons USED IN THE CRIME were NOT those weapons. The weapons USED were illegally acquired weapons.

The police had to give them back, the parents were the lawful owners. They had no choice

Everyone’s so focused on the fact they were trans. Please WAKE UP AND tell me where you keep numerous clips or spare ammo in a dress to afflict pain on 35 people on a gun which has the capacity of 5 rounds IN A SPAN OF TWO MINUTES. More news needs to be on the victims and the REAL EVIDENCE not the assailants sexual pronouns. Wake up Canada.

Giving a 12 year old HRT is criminal.

If the police acted on anything they would be found guilty of hate against trans people, the only losers are the dead people at the expense of mentally ill trans people

mother posted things of his behavior when he was 7. how thinking it's a good idea teaching a troubled child how to handle a weapon is wild to me.

My questions. First a child who drops out of school at age 14, where was Social Services? Second, how long did the shooter have mental health issues? Where was Social Services and the medical community? Why would a parent petition the return of guns when there was someone in the house with mental health issues?
