La Loche school shooting victim says she’s discouraged by lack of help
REGINA — Victims of a deadly school shooting in northern Saskatchewan say they’re still not getting the help they need to heal more than 15 months after the tragedy.
A gunman opened fire at the La Loche high school in January 2016, killing a teacher and teacher’s aide, and wounding seven others. He also killed two brothers at a nearby home.
“After the shooting in La Loche … the victims that were hurt that day (were told they) would have nothing to worry about,” said Charlene Klyne, a substitute teacher who was one of seven people wounded.
“But that’s all we’ve been doing since day one, is worry about where we’d pay for our bills, what our income is, what our future’s going to be, and we just want this to be settled.”
