North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice says the community of 12,000 is mourning the loss of their own.
“We feel it when the community … is in shock and … we’re just mourning a really sad situation,” she said.
“You know being a small community at the end of Highway 16, we’re pretty isolated and remote … when something impacts one of us, it impacts all of us.”
Someone living nearby described seeing a large police presence with officers inside and outside the suburban property.
Police say there is no further risk to the public.
