4 Killed in ‘Targeted’ Shootings in British Columbia

The shooting was the deadliest on record in Penticton, a city of about 34,000 people that is about a four-and-a-half-hour drive from Vancouver. Throughout the province, mass shootings are rare: Only five shootings in British Columbia have killed more than four people. The last such shooting was in 2007, according to Penticton Western News.

It was not immediately known what type of gun had been used in the attacks.

Gun owners in Canada must be licensed. Before a license is granted, officials check the buyer’s past for any violent crimes or behavior, crimes involving firearms or violent episodes related to mental illness in the preceding five years.


Handguns, semiautomatic and automatic weapons must be registered with the federal government, but lawmakers eliminated a national registry of rifles and shotguns in 2012.

Criminals prefer places where law abiding citizens respect the gun-free zones and laws.

It almost sounds like someone does a happy dance whenever a shooting happens in another country.

Maybe all that licensing and such is why mass shootings are so rare there.

No.....since almost every mass public shooter passes every background check and obeys all the gun control laws....up to the point they start murdering people....

Canada has a different culture than we do....that is why they haven't had as many mass public shootings, or as much crime as we do.....again, that is changing...

None of what you posted is true, as usual.

That amount of crime in Canada isn't changing. Some years are worse than others, but in general it's been stable for years.

But Bodedcea is right. You take a LOT of joy in murders in other countries. Still trying to prove that easy access to guns isn't driving your high murder, suicide, and violent crime rates.

More firearms in private hands less restrictive laws on the book More open carry More concealed carry since 1992 and violent crime went DOWN not up. Murder went down NOT UP.
