The MP representing Tumbler Ridge is describing a 12-year-old girl as a hero for trying to save two classmates shot in the mass killing in the northeastern B.C. community last month.
MP Bob Zimmer told the crowd at the National Prayer Breakfast in Ottawa this week that the girl, named Christina, pulled both Abel Mwansa Jr. and Maya Gebala under a table after the two 12-year-olds were shot at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School last month.
