Canada PM to visit town in mourning after mass shooting

Such violence is rare in Canada, which has strict gun control laws unlike in the neighboring United States. Police say they do not know the motive of the 18-year-old shooter who died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Carney will visit Tumbler Ridge after arrangements are made with local authorities grappling with Tuesday's attack, the premier's office said. The streets of the town, population 2,400, were largely deserted Thursday, with most stores closed as residents observed a day of mourning.
