Breaking News... Shooting at Dawson College
Five minutes ago I turned on CNN and immediately chills ran up my spine. It was breaking news of a shooting at Dawson College in Montreal. I cannot believe it.
All I am thinking right now is of my sister, who is at a college (not Dawson College) as we speak. That, and also the senselessness and insane selfishness of this situation. Four people are dead, including two gunmen (one died from a self-inflicted gun shot and the other from Police), meaning there are two victim deaths, and I believe 16 others have been critically injured. Police are still unsure of the possibility of more gunmen inside the building. It is total chaos.
The situation is still unfolding. I'm going to watch and I will update later.
UPDATE - Sept. 14, 2006: It is now a day later and much has been uncovered since the commotion of yesterday's shooting. There was only one gunman, Kimveer Gill, 25, who was apparently apart of the www.vampirefreaks.com network. He has a blog ( that was taken down after it was aired on TV) and I had the chance to see it right before it was disbanned. It was nothing more than a twisted and ominous foreshading of (what now seems like) the inevitable, as he had dozens of pictures of himself holding knives and guns and making statements like, "I am the Angel of Death". He did not kill himself, he was actually taken down by a "hail storm" of bullets - which, according to his blog, is exactly how he wanted to die.
Sadly, one victim has been declared dead. Six are still in hospital, with two of the six in very critical condition.
No words can begin to describe the brutality and devastation of this heinous act (and others like it - Colmbine, Ecole Polytechnique). My thoughts and prayers are with the victims, and those who mourn their loss.
