VANCOUVER, April 30 (Xinhua) -- As residents and authorities tried to piece together information surrounding a deadly shooting which left two killed and two others injured in the small city of Nanaimo early Wednesday, a sense of sadness gripped this quiet coast city where such public shootings are rare.


Local police said the accident happened shortly before 7 a.m. local time when a man entered into a sawmill and opened fire in downtown Nanaimo, a city of about 80,000 people, located on Vancouver Island in British Columbia (B.C.). The 47-year-old suspect was a former employee at the mill.


Emergency phone calls started pouring in moments later, and police officers arrived, arrested the man and seized a shotgun at the scene.


"A lone male suspect was arrested without incident a few minutes later by an Emergency Response Team member," Nanaimo Royal Canadian Mounted Police Commander Supt. Mark Fisher told reporters. Early investigation suggested that the suspect acted alone, he said.


"Police officers also quickly worked to search the entire building for additional threats and injured victims," Fisher said, adding that no other suspects were found.


"The families and mill employees will now have to cope with the tragedy that unfolded here today. As does the community of Nanaimo, " he said. "It's going to be a challenge, but as detachment commander, and a long-time resident of Vancouver Island, I can confirm this type of violence is extremely rare."


By midday, police had yet to comment on the motivation behind the shootings, while friends and relatives scrambled to get information about their beloved ones who worked at the mill, which was operating on one shift and employed about 75 people.


The B.C. coroners service confirmed the deaths of the two victims, but had yet to identify them. "Following an incident at the mill in south Nanaimo shortly after 7 a.m. ... two persons were transported by ambulance to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, " the service said in a release. "On arrival at hospital, both were pronounced deceased. The investigation at this point is in its most preliminary stages."


The mill's CEO Don Demens confirmed that the suspect was a former employee at the mill, but refused to comment on the reason why he left the job.


He said the company had shut down all of their operations out of respect for the victims and their families.


Nanaimo city councilor Jim Kipp told Xinhua that a horrible feeling came over him when news of the shooting broke. "I do know some people who work there," he said. "I know some of the people in the management end of Western Forest Products."


He said incidents like this are a painful reminder that violence can happen anywhere, even in small cities like Nanaimo. " We don't think it will happen in our area. We think we're immune to these things, but the world is getting smaller."


The fatal incident in the quiet port city of Nanaimo has drawn national attention, including a message from Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Ottawa, the national capital.


"Tragic news out of Nanaimo," Harper said in Twitter. "Thoughts are with the friends and families of the victims."


While so many of the facts surrounding the shooting still need to be pieced together, Kipp said the shooting proves that people who are struggling, for whatever reason, must seek help. "People have to help each other," he said.
