    LA LOCHE, Sask. — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says five people have been killed and two critically injured in a school shooting in northern Saskatchewan.
     
    Speaking from Davos, Switzerland, Trudeau said the alleged shooter is in custody and the situation is "no longer active."

    Trudeau called the shooting every parent's worst nightmare.
     
    Premier Brad Wall issued a statement expressing shock and sorrow at what he called "the horrific events."
