Fatal Shooting at my old college today...

[lmcjaho]

I'm sure many of you saw this on the news today but there was a "Columbine-esque" shooting at my old college (Dawson College in Montreal) today...

I say "esque" because the restrictive gun-laws here in Canada and the apparent inability to aim of the gunman has kept the deaths down to 1 confirmed and 20 injured so far (I don't know if any of them are serious enough to still be life threatening at this point).

The world is full of ****ed up people...

TORONTO (Reuters) - A woman was killed in a shooting in a college in downtown Montreal, local police said on Wednesday.

Montreal police chief Yvan Delorme told RDI Television the woman was in her 20s. She died in hospital from her wounds after a lone gunman opened fire without warning at Dawson College.

The police earlier said a gunman dressed in a black trenchcoat had been killed by the police during the attack on the college in which 20 people were injured.

Quebec is not a part of Canada.


Anyway, I also saw this on the news. There was some pretty gruesome video of all the students running away and whatnot. Not cool.

I'm sure the United States is somehow responsible.


At least they got him. Hopefully, nobody else dies.
