Teen charged with four counts of murder in Canada shooting

The 16-year-old said the teen suspect would message the others in his circle of friends about not being treated equally or fairly by his family.

Wood, 35, who began teaching at the school in September, and teacher’s aide Marie Janvier, 21, died after they were shot at the school.

“I absolutely agree with the member that, up until now, there have been absolutely inadequate resources and serious gaps in terms of the health outcomes and the opportunities that First Nations children and Inuit children have to access these resources”, she said.

The youth appeared in provincial court in Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan, staring at the floor during a brief hearing in which a judge banned publishing the identities of the surviving victims, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.

The suspect was also charged with one count of unauthorized possession of a firearm, according to St. Germaine.

He is scheduled to return to court on February 22.

Allegedly, Clark knew the male-shooter, stating that “the accused who was involved in the shooting was a surprise to everyone”.

“The government has got to look at a whole series of measures to improve community safety”. Deegan Park, her boyfriend of three years, said he would have given up the rest of his life just to spend another year with her.

“The kids loved having her around”, Lemaigre said.

“We don’t know the specifics around the tragedy, but I can say, in the general sense that the link is hope”, said Wall.

Two crime scenes are being investigated by the police, one at the Dene Crescent and the other at the La Loche Community School in the Dene high school building.

Asked about how his client was doing, he said: “He’s upset”.

“He’s upset. Much like his demeanour in court, he was not at all happy, which is understandable. It’s a very tragic situation”.

Chief Bobby Cameron is in Saskatoon hospital visiting the wounded and their families.

“I think you’re going to see a national government engaged perhaps like governments haven’t been for a generation in working with First Nations leadership in a nation to nation context to deal with some of the tragic and alarming social and economic indicators in many of these communities”, said LeBlanc. One young man who gave his name as Perry was moved to tears as he spoke into a microphone at the front of the room.

“It’s a community with a history of violence, bullying, suicides, drugs and abuse and dysfunction. This could be my community”.

The head of a group representing 65,000 aboriginals in northern Manitoba, which borders Saskatchewan, said the tragedy showed the need for major investments in mental health, education and the economy.

Canada’s recently elected prime minister, Justin Trudeau, has promised to ratify a United Nations declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples.

Wall met with community leaders in La Loche on Sunday to discuss the shooting and offer the village support.
