  • Parents at a Virginia high school are criticizing school officials who they claim swept allegations against a missing football coach "under the rug" for several years
  • Travis Turner has been missing since Nov. 20, 2025, days before Virginia State Police filed 10 charges accusing him of the possession of child pornography and using a computer to solicit a minor
  • Turner's family has pleaded with the 46-year-old coach to return home and face the charges
As the search for missing Virginia high school football coach Travis Turner nears its third month, parents at his former Union High School are demanding answers from school district officials they claim have been sweeping allegations against him “under the rug” for “years.”

Turner, 46, was last seen on Nov. 20, 2025, days before local authorities officially filed child pornography charges against him. The high school football coach’s disappearance came amid the Union High School team's undefeated season, first turning heads before the criminal charges were then announced against him, drawing outrage from school parents.

Local outlet WJHL reported that a third meeting between parents and officials with the Wise County Board of Education took place on Tuesday, Feb. 10, as disgruntled parents at the school grilled its officials over what they claim was a lack of transparency regarding Turner’s alleged crimes.

Wise County parent Stephen Murray told WJHL he and other parents wanted to continue to apply “pressure” on the school district to answer for Turner’s alleged crimes, claiming officials have known about the allegations for “years.”

“I just want to make sure that no one thinks that we’re going to sweep this under the rug like it has been for so many years,” Murray told the outlet. “I just want to keep reminding the citizens of this county that there’s been a lot of abuse and we just need to keep shining a spotlight on it until something changes.”

The outlet reported that three parents accused local school officials of a “lack of transparency” regarding the accused ex-football coach.

“I think it’s vital now more than ever that they actually understand that a community is hurting and a community does want change,” Murray also told WJHL. “So, I do hope they’re listening. I think this is just the beginning, and the school board should, you know, get used to seeing these faces and hopefully more and more people show up.”

The Wise County Board of Education did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

A total of eight people were killed -- most of them at a school -- and more than two dozen were wounded, after a shooter opened fire on Tuesday in a small community in Canada's British Columbia. Officials had earlier said nine people were killed before revising the death toll.

The suspected shooter -- identified as 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar -- is dead from what is believed to be a self-inflicted injury, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

The suspect did not currently have any firearms registered to her, according to the RCMP.

There was a documented history of police visits to the family residence over several years, with the most recent visit to the home in the spring of 2025. That visit was related to "concerns regarding mental health" and "self-harm" with respect to the suspect, British Columbia Royal Canadian Mounted Police Deputy Commissioner Dwayne McDonald said, during a press briefing on Wednesday.

Van Rootselaar was not currently registered or attending the school where the shooting took place. Among the dead are members of the suspect's family and students between the ages of 12 and 17, according to the RCMP.

Van Rootselaar was assigned male at birth but publicly identified as a female, according to the RCMP.

The police have no leads as to the motive behind the shooting at this time, McDonald said.

"It's something we're certainly passionately pursuing, but it would be too early to speculate on motive at this time," McDonald said.

"We don't have information at this time to suggest that anyone was specifically targeted," in the shooting, he added.

Police said the suspect was "apprehended for assessment and follow-up" under Canada's Mental Health Act "on different occasions," over the years. In some circumstances, the suspect was taken to the hospital, McDonald said.

Police had also visited the residence in the past, where firearms were seized "under the criminal code," McDonald said. At a later time, the "lawful owner" of those firearms petitioned to have them returned, and they were. There were no criminal charges in relation to those firearms issued, McDonald said.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced seven days of mourning after the deadly shooting. A visibly emotional Carney called it "a very difficult day for the nation."

"This morning, parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers in Tumbler Ridge will wake up without someone they love. The nation mourns with you. Canada stands by you," Carney told reporters on Wednesday in Ottawa.

"We thank the first responders, the teachers, the staff, the residents, for everything that they've done in this terrible situation. I, on the advice of the Clerk of the Privy Council and Heritage Canada, I've asked that the flags of the Peace Tower here and across all government buildings be flown at half-mast for the next seven days," he said.

The shooting consisted of two incidents on Tuesday afternoon -- one at a local residence and then at the school in the community. The incident at the home occurred first before the suspect headed for the school, McDonald said.

The gunfire was reported at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School at about 1:20 p.m., the RCMP said.

Officers responding to the scene found six people dead inside the school, and two people were found dead at a local residence. The two people found dead at the residence are the suspect's mom and stepbrother, police said.

Two other victims were airlifted to the hospital with serious or life-threatening injuries. Both of these people are now in critical, but stable condition, Canadian police said Wednesday afternoon. About 25 others were being assessed for injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening, authorities said.

The eight victims of the shooting include a 39-year-old female educator, three 12-year-old female students and two male students -- ages 12 and 13 -- who were found dead at the school, according to Canadian police.

The two victims found at the local residence were a 39-year-old female, the suspect's mother, and an 11-year-old male, the suspect's stepbrother, Canadian police said.

Police are not identifying the victims until all family members have been notified, McDonald said. Family notifications are ongoing, he added.

Carney said he was "devastated" by the shooting.

"I join Canadians in grieving with those whose lives have been changed irreversibly today, and in gratitude for the courage and selflessness of the first responders who risked their lives to protect their fellow citizens," Carney said in the statement.

Tumbler Ridge is a small community of about 2,400 people located in the Northern Rockies in northeastern British Columbia.
