British Columbia’s chief coroner said his office will hold an inquest into the mass school shooting in Tumbler Ridge.

Dr. Jatinder Baidwan announced the inquest on Tuesday, calling the killings “a senseless act of violence,” and listing the victims by name.

“I don’t know about you, but the hairs on the back of my neck go up when I say these people’s names,” Dr. Baidwan said.
