Jurisdictional Response and Suspect Identification
During the height of the crisis, a public alert was sent to mobile devices across the Peace River region, describing the suspect as a “female in a dress with brown hair”. The alert, which warned residents to shelter in place and lock their doors, was canceled at approximately 5:45 p.m. after police determined there were no outstanding suspects.
Peace River South MLA Larry Neufeld and Public Safety Minister Nina Krieger have expressed their deep condolences to the community, which has a population of just over 2,000 people. The Peace River South School District has initiated a reunification process for families, and mental health supports are being deployed to assist the students and staff who were evacuated from the secondary and elementary schools.
This is a developing story.
Safety Tip: In an active shooter situation, the “Run, Hide, Fight” protocol is the international standard for survival. If you can safely evacuate, do so immediately and leave your belongings behind. If evacuation is impossible, find a secure room, lock the door, and silence your phone.
