A local pastor in Tumbler Ridge said he and other spiritual leaders in the community were offering support to families in the aftermath of the shooting.
“The idea was to be just available,” George Rowe, pastor at Tumbler Ridge Fellowship Baptist Church, told CTV’s Your Morning on Wednesday.
“I don’t have the answers; none of us have got the answers, but just to come alongside our people and let them know that they’re loved and we’re with them.”
