Our thoughts are with the people of Tumbler Ridge after yesterday's devastating shooting.

On the afternoon of Tuesday, February 10, Northern Health and the Tumbler Ridge Health Centre were notified of an active police response in the community, and the potential for the health centre to receive patients from the incident scene.

The Tumbler Ridge Health Centre's Emergency Department operates weekdays from 9 am to 5 pm and was fully staffed at the time of the notification. In close collaboration with BC Emergency Health Services, the site received two patients, who were treated and prepared for transfer to higher levels of care outside of our health region - one who had been assessed as being in critical condition, and another in serious to fair condition. BC EHS attended to other patients who did not require hospitalization. Additionally, the RCMP has reported that a third victim died while being transported to hospital. For patient privacy reasons, no further information on these individuals will be shared by Northern Health.
