4 die in Canadian school shooting

VANCOUVER • Four people were killed in a school shooting in a remote part of Saskatchewan on Friday, and a male suspect was apprehended, police said, in Canada's worst school violence in years.

Officials have not given a motivation for the shooting that also injured several people in La Loche, an impoverished community about 600km north of the city of Saskatoon.

The town's acting mayor, Mr Kevin Janvier, said police told him that the gunman first shot two of his siblings at home and then made his way to the school.
