One of the victims in the Tumbler Ridge, B.C., mass shooting has suffered a setback. Doctors found a leaking abscess, preventing 12-year-old Maya Gebala from undergoing a scheduled skull repair surgery.
Maya, whose recovery is marked by grit and determination, is still hospitalized at BC Children’s Hospital. The shooting, which occurred on Feb. 10, claimed seven lives and injured dozens. The shooter also died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Her mother, Cia Edmonds, expressed hope for a future where she can support her daughter, now unable to speak or move her right side but showing progress with her left hand and leg.
