Khaberni - Ongoing investigations in British Columbia, Canada, revealed horrific details about the digital activity of the suspect, Jessie Van Rotselaar, an eighteen-year-old suspected of carrying out an armed attack inside Tumbler Ridge High School, which resulted in the death of 9 people.
Technical data disclosed that the girl designed an electronic game on the platform "Roblox" that allows users to simulate mass killing operations inside a virtual shopping center, where digital characters were seen exchanging gunfire in an environment completely similar to reality.
Record of disorders and drug abuse
Investigators discovered archival video footage of the suspect on her deleted accounts, showing her practicing with heavy firearms, including a "Desert Eagle" pistol and a hunting rifle, wearing a jacket bearing logos glorifying violence, carrying the phrase "Massacre Journey".
The game recorded a low visit rate, having been used only 7 times before being removed, and video clips showed Roblox characters picking up weapons and firing at other players inside the mall. The platform deleted the game on February 11, just one day after the massacre.
Reports indicated that the teenager suffered from severe psychological disorders starting from the age of fourteen, causing her to stop attending school, which necessitated her being subjected to mandatory assessment several times under Canadian mental health laws, concurrent with her regular use of powerful hallucinogenic substances that led, on one occasion, to an attempt to burn down her family's home.
Community shock and identification of victims
Canadian authorities announced the complete list of victims of the incident, described as the second most violent school massacre in the country's history, which included five students, a teacher, and two relatives of the perpetrator. Justin Van Rotselaar, her estranged father, expressed his deepest condolences to the bereaved families, describing the incident as an unforgivable act.
In a related context, the mother of twelve-year-old Ticaria Lambert described her daughter as a ray of light, confirming that her family was completely shattered by this sudden and very painful loss, according to what was reported by "The Sun" newspaper.
Deletion of the suspect's account
The gaming platform's administration took immediate action by deleting the suspect's account and all related contents immediately after the incident.
The company's official spokesperson confirmed the full commitment to supporting the security investigations, to provide all necessary information about the perpetrator's digital activity.
This comes at a time when international concerns about the safety of content aimed at children online are escalating, especially after previous attempts to exploit the same platform in spreading extremist ideas or simulating violent scenes repetitively.
