Maya is a 12-year-old survivor of a school shooting in Tumbler Ridge in northern British Columbia. That shooting left 7 dead, including 5 children, and left Maya in critical condition and dozens of others injured. Maya has been in BC's Children's Hospital since the shooting on Feb 10th. Maya's condition had a very recent setback, so I am asking for prayer for her and her family.
The shooter was a transgender who also shot and killed his mother and little brother before going to the school.
Tumbler Ridge shooting victim Maya Gebala suffers surgery setback
One of the victims in the Tumbler Ridge, B.C., mass shooting has suffered a setback.
Cia Edmonds, whose daughter is 12-year-old Maya Gebala, said in an update posted online that she did not undergo a scheduled skull repair surgery last week because doctors found a leaking abscess.
“For every one who’s been asking and messaging. I dont have the capacity to hold conversations,” Edmonds wrote. “It has been grit and determination that pushes maya.. and infections, that set her back a land side….”
Gebala has been in BC Children’s Hospital since the shooting in February that killed seven people and injured dozens. The shooter also died from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The surgery last week would have been Gebala’s fourth and was to place a prosthetic piece in the girl’s skull where she was shot on Feb. 10.
Tumbler Ridge victim’s mother wants ‘no more mail’
“All I wanted was a life where I could set goals and show my daughter’s that you can be strong and accomplish anything if you try,” Edmonds wrote.
“I wanted to love them. I wanted to support them. I looked forward to talks about boys, school, sports, and what else… I looked forward to loving them unconditionally, and being the mother they would call when they’re adults, tired with life.
“Just because they want their mom.. I would give anything to go back. I would give anything to have us whole again.”
In a previous post, Edmonds said her daughter still cannot talk or move her right side, but she can move her left hand and leg and is able to stare at her mother with her uninjured eye.
BC RCMP said the suspect in a mass shooting in B.C.’s Peace Region, is believed to have acted alone.
Eight people were killed in a school shooting on Tuesday afternoon in Tumbler Ridge, in which the suspected shooter also ended up dead, bringing the total to nine.
It was originally reported on Tuesday that 10 people, including the shooter, had died, but that number was corrected to nine, including the shooter, on Wednesday.
Dept. Comm. Dwayne McDonald, BC RCMP commanding officer, said when officers arrived at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School on Tuesday afternoon, following reports of an active shooter, gunshots were fired in their direction.
“Upon arrival, there was active gunfire and as officers approached the school, rounds were fired in their direction,” he said.
“Officers entered the school to locate the threat. Within minutes, an individual confirmed to be the shooter was located deceased with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.”
The deceased victims from the school include a 39-year-old adult female educator, three female students, all aged 12, and two male students, ages 12 and 13.
BC RCMP have identified the shooter as 18-year-old female Jesse Van Rootsleaar, who is a resident of Tumbler Ridge.
“We do believe the suspect acted alone,” McDonald confirmed.
He said they do have a history of police calls to the family residence involving Van Rootsleaar, including some mental health calls.
McDonald said a long gun and a modified handgun were recovered at the scene by the officers.
Two people were found dead in the home and McDonald confirmed that the female adult victim is Van Rootsleaar’s mother, 39, and the youth is her 11-year-old brother or stepbrother.
McDonald did provide some information about the suspect.
“We identified the suspect as they chose to be identified in public and in social media,” he said.
“I can say that Jesse was born as a biological male, who, approximately, the information that I have, approximately six years ago, began to transition to female and identified as female both socially and publicly.”
McDonald also said that Van Rootsleaar had some interactions with the police.
“Police have attended that residence in the past, approximately a couple of years ago, where firearms were seized under the criminal code,” he added.
“I can say that at a later point in time, the lawful owner of those firearms petitioned for those firearms to be returned and they were.”
