Montreal's Columbine

So some random "punk" in a trenchcoat shot up a bunch of people at the Dawson College CEGEP today. The police perimeter is HUGE. They even shut down a large portion of the Metro (subway). The gunman was killed by the police and reports say that a 20 year old girl was shot in the head and died of her injuries in the hospital. I luckily don't know anybody that attended the school.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

They've just confirmed the death of the girl. Some guy called his mother and said "Mom, I think I'm going to die. I was shot in the chest." This sucks.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I was very suprised when I learned this was in Canada, it may have been just Micheal Moores rambling but I was under the impression the country had next-to-no gun crimes.

We do have very few gun crimes, especially in Montreal. I can't remember the last time that I heard about a shooting in the city. The last murder that I remember was some dude stabbing his father a few weeks ago.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Ya... I don't think the Quebec media cares too much about blaming videogames or what not. I doubt Quebecers care too much about the incident either.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

We don't know anything about the gunman other than what I wrote. There may have been more than one shooter.

I was speaking idiomatically.

The police were just doing their job. To be honest, I would have preferred it if he had not been killed. That way he could have been sent to prison and suffered for the rest of his life. I have no sympathy at all for fuckers like that.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Shit. You doing ok Turbo?

FELIPE NO

Or not Amanda. The shooter is kind of dead. . .

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Unless he left a note explaining why, all we can do is speculate based on what people that knew him say.

Welcome to Quebec. R rated movies don't exist here.

Apparently a friend of mine was working in the ICU at the Montreal General at the time. She's doing her last week there in her last year of med school. Things didn't go well.

Also, Morrigan, why are you complaining about the media inacuracy? They were getting their reports from terrified students that had basically no idea what was happening.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
