										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A gunman entered a high school in British Columbia, Canada, on Wednesday, leading to a tragic shooting that killed ten people and injured more than twenty-five others. Eight individuals were killed at the school, while two others were found dead in a nearby home. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) identified a female suspect as the shooter, though the motive for the attack remains unclear.<a href="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/columbia-shoot-5.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-29185" src="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/columbia-shoot-5-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="742" height="418" srcset="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/columbia-shoot-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/columbia-shoot-5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/columbia-shoot-5-768x432.jpg 768w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/columbia-shoot-5-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/columbia-shoot-5-750x422.jpg 750w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/columbia-shoot-5-1140x641.jpg 1140w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/columbia-shoot-5.jpg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 742px) 100vw, 742px" /></a></p>
<p>​Public Safety Minister <strong>Mike Farnworth</strong> described the incident as heart-wrenching and assured that the government would provide all necessary support to the victims. Following the incident, an emergency alert was issued but later lifted once police confirmed there were no other suspects at large. Elementary and secondary schools in the Tumbler Ridge area have been closed for the remainder of the week.</p>
<p>​Prime Minister <strong>Narendra Modi</strong> expressed deep grief over the incident in North America, sending condolences to Canadian Prime Minister <strong>Mark Carney</strong> and the families of the victims. He stated that India stands in solidarity with the people of Canada during this difficult time and wished a speedy recovery to those injured.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the third day in a row in the city of Lytton, British Columbia, Canada established a record high all-time temperature on Tuesday as the nation west and Northwest, the United-Sates Pacific broke over, said its meteorological service. Since Friday in the Vancouver region, at least 134 persons have died according to data issued by municipal policing and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, news agency AFP reported.</p>
<p>The Police Department in Vancouver has reported since Friday that it has been responding to more than 65 unexpected fatalities, most &#8220;in terms of heat.&#8221; &#8220;Vancouver never had such a heat, and tragically hundreds of people died as a result,&#8221; policeman Steve Addison said.</p>
