Shooting with Guns at Dawson College

Yesterday, a gunman walked into Dawson College in downtown Montreal and indiscriminately shot at and killed over a dozen people.

Jay, a Montreal Metroblogger, was in his office at Dawson College when the shooting happened and provides a first hand account here.

As we were running through the upper atrium, toward the de Maisonneuve doors, I looked over to my left and saw a relatively long trail of blood which led to the same exit doors we were heading for. The trail looked as if is was from someone that had been dragged outside. Hopefully that person is OK.

The Montreal Metroblog tries to make sense of this random act of violence.

Sympathies and prayers...

About me

  • I'm Echo/Lavanya
  • From Chennai, India
  • So, we are curious now? My folks named me Lavanya, and it does have a meaning. I named myself Echo, for this blog. And that has a meaning too. Therefore, I have more than one name; I can walk; I can talk; I can read; I can even write; I can count - 9 'I's already and that is absolutely disgusting; I can also lie about numbers. Do you need to hear more?
