Matt Jacobs, grieving the loss of his 11-year-old son Emmett in the Tumbler Ridge mass shooting, expressed his “unbearable” pain in a statement, clarifying he is not the father of the shooter. Emmett and his mother, Jennifer Jacobs, were among the eight victims killed by 18-year-old Jesse Vanrootselaar. Jacobs lamented his estrangement from Emmett over the past eight years and expressed forgiveness towards Jennifer despite their differences. A GoFundMe campaign has been initiated to support the surviving children amid the tragedy.
