It’s Canada - so we’ll see what else emerges in the reports.

What do you mean by that?

Wasn't a woman. It was a man in a dress not surprisingly. Not our crime so stop calling the shooter a "woman".

Exactly!!

First thing I noticed. I don’t want to detract from the appalling horror of it all but ffs these are not women’s crimes.

Accurate reporting matters.

Yeah, given they know the identity of the killer, but aren't saying, but shooter was in a dress.... it doesn't take a genius.

Do they often describe what a murderer was wearing when they murdered people?

The description ‘woman, brown hair, in a dress’ was from an alert to the community to avoid them while the attack was still happening.

This person also killed their mother and sister at home before heading to the school. Not a typical female crime at all. I wonder if we will come to find that most of the victims were also female?

I noticed this immediately and wondered how long it would take someone to mention it.

the authorities haven't released the name or the sex of the shooter. Being Careful to describe them as a gun person.

Horrendous business.

Committed by “a woman in a dress with dark hair”, shockingly.

How desperately sad in such a tiny community.

Ten dead in total ☹️.

Well, should say nine in total plus the shooter.
