The 16yr old used a GSG STG-44, not an SKS.

This news clip shows the .22

Sorry you are correct I was confusing the Edmonton shooting with the one in Innisfail, Ontario in which an SKS was used, in a similar ambush scenario against police.

yeah that's the one I remembered. Also the port Alberni killers used an SKS and at least one of them was a legal gun owner.

I think it was rumoured the Tumbler Ridge shooter used an SKS as they had posted photos of theirs in this sub but it was taken away when their PAL was revoked. I don't think it's been released what firearm was used in the shooting and where it came from.
