Ryan Knutson walks through the geography and history of Tumbler Ridge — a town of 2,400 nestled between mountains, known for coal mining, wilderness retreats, and dinosaur fossils — before describing what happened there on February 10th. Van Rootzeler allegedly began at home, killing her mother and 11-year-old half-brother. She then drove about a mile to Tumbler Ridge Secondary School. She shot 8 more people. Six died.
