Canadian school shooter "had ready access to an arsenal of guns from a young age"

https://w

Van Rootselaar, the eldest of five siblings, is believed to have had ready access to an arsenal of guns from a young age.

His mother shared a photograph in August 2024 of a gun cabinet housing five rifles and rounds of ammunition.

“Think it’s time to take them out for some target practice,” read the photograph’s caption.
