The federal Conservatives are calling for an independent public inquiry into the mass shooting that claimed the lives of six children and two adults last month in the northeastern B.C. community of Tumbler Ridge.
Tory MP Bob Zimmer, whose riding covers Tumbler Ridge, said mourning families need answers about the shootings on Feb. 10 that also injured 27 others and left the 18-year-old shooter dead of an apparent suicide.
