Four killed in Canada school shooting

STEPANAKERT, JANUARY 23, ARTSAKHPRESS: They said a male suspect is now in custody and children have been moved to safety after the shootings at La Loche Community School and another location, BBC News reports, citing journalists.

Canadian PM Justin Trudeau said earlier that five people had been killed, but this was later corrected.

The school shooting was "every parent's worst nightmare", Mr Trudeau said.

"The community is reeling."

Mr Trudeau, who was speaking in Davos, Switzerland, also praised "the first responders who acted quickly and bravely".

Witnesses at the school described screaming and more than half a dozen shots.

Kevin Janvier, acting mayor of La Loche, said that his 23-year-old daughter Marie, a teacher, was one of the victims at the school.

He also said police had told him that the gunman first shot two of his siblings at home and then made his way to the school.
