By now, most people have already heard of the shooting at Dawson College yesterday. A man dressed in black gothic clothing walked in the school and randomly shot at the students. He was shot down and killed by the police, and the wounded were all rushed to the hospital.
Montreal went into emergency mode during the shooting, which lasted about 30minutes. All the services were brought down to the downtown college, and it was quite a shock to us all. You hear about it happening, but when it comes so close to home, in the city where you live, its totally unexpected.
My sympathies and warmest wishes go out to all the students (injured or not), to their parents, and my condolences to the family of the young woman who died of her injuries.
This is one day that the city of Montreal will not forget.
