A United States resident has been arrested in connection with the deadly school shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia. CNN and Al Jazeera reported the arrest on Tuesday.

The suspect allegedly encouraged the shooter and sent money before the attack, according to Global News. Officials say the man had been in contact with the shooter in the lead-up to the shooting.

The attack in the small Canadian community left several people dead and shocked the country. Canadian and American authorities worked together to track down the suspect.

The man is expected to face charges linked to the shooting. Investigators are still working to establish a full picture of the motive and the planning behind the attack.

The arrest is the first in the United States connected to the case. Officials in both countries say more details will be released as the investigation moves forward.

Tumbler Ridge is a small town in northeastern British Columbia. The shooting has renewed calls for tighter cross-border cooperation on gun violence.
