Serious news from our friends up north.
Screw empty bomb threats! These people got shot at! Sad shit. QUOTE By Robert Melnbardis MONTREAL (Reuters) - Up to three gunman dressed in black army fatigues opened fire in a downtown Montreal college on Wednesday, and early, unconfirmed reports said four people had been killed. RDI Television quoted unofficial sources as saying that 16 people may also been injured in the shootout. The network said one gunman had turned his weapon on himself and committed suicide, while a second had been shot and killed by police. This could not yet be confirmed. "A suspect has been neutralized, which means he is not shooting any more," said Ian LaFreniere, a police spokesman. Montreal police said they believed there were between one and three suspects. A health agency official told reporters that at least six people have been taken to hospital, of which three are seriously wounded. The shooting took place in the cafeteria of Dawson College, in the heart of Montreal, Canada's second biggest city. The college has around 10,000 students aged from 16 to 19. The shooting triggered memories of a 1989 massacre at the Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, where a gunman killed 14 women before killing himself. That gunman, Marc Lepine, 25, left behind a three-page letter claiming that feminists had ruined his life and naming 19 high profile Quebec women he wanted to kill. Fixed topic title.
