Shooting at Montreal College

A gunman at Dawson's college wearing a trench coat, and carrying an AK-747 opened fire on campus grounds. Several people are in critical condition. At this point they're just piecing together the events that happened; saying the shooting was random and the gunman seemed emmotionless each time he pulled the trigger. Dawson's college is located in Montreal, Canada which lies several kilometers just outside the Ontario border.



I think this is horrific, and definitely unimaginable to the ordinary person. I was watching the news as I'm typing this and the reporters are relating this to the Colombine shooting, which everyone on here should be aware of. Not only that but they also link the mindset of the gunman to people that have lost the connection to life and do not necessarily value it. When I heard this, the homeless issue immediately flashed in my head; but even they want to live. So in conclusion it really makes one wonder as to how people can cope with change. In this case the change being a painful transformation from the ordinary joe to a murderer, the decision to pull the trigger occuring in a short time interval.

It's been verified from eyewitnesses that the gunman does not attend the school, and that he has been killed on the scene.

This is breaking news and new information is becoming available as the events unfold. For more information at the time of posting this, CTV newsnet and all canadian channels are broadcasting this.

This really is sad. It would be interesting from to to time to have the gunmen in these shootings to survive, so they can have a psycheval go see the wizard. That might give us a little more insight as to who these people are and what makes them do what they do.

Tragic. At least, nobody except the gunmen was killed, for now. I just hope that everyone else will be alright. And I also hope that our government won't use this to put biometric crap in schools and RFID tag on students as they do in certains US schools...

Update: 1 dead... the gunmen. And no other gunmen, it's just rumors.

Update 2: 2 deads now. The gunmen and a girl that died from her wounds.

Has anyone got anymore updates on this?

Anyone else killed at all?

I would like to know, My Cousins live around that area.

CNN just reported that 20 were wounded, 6 of which are currently in critical condition.

CNN also reported that there are rumors of additional gumen and that authorities are searching the school gorunds.

Questionable picture?

A friend emailed me this picture today, with a question of why some of the kids in the picture are smiling. Has anyone seen this yet? Any thoughts on what's going on, is it maybe a wrong picture?
