Gunman shoots at least 20 in Canadian college

The sickness has spread to our neighbors to the north. Sorry bout that.

Kimveer Gill of Laval, Quebec, wearing a black mask and a black trench coat, fired random shots at lunch hour in Dawson College before he was killed in an exchange of gunfire with police. Gill's identity and online postings were reported by the Toronto Star and La Presse today. Police haven't confirmed he was the shooter.

Then why would they shoot him? And with a name like Kimveer I think I know why he was so upset. And why the hell do these people pull this shit at lunch time? Wait until people are struggling to stay awake during complex algebraic equation discussions. Don't shoot at people during the only break they get. Jerk.

The 25-year-old man who opened fire at a Montreal college yesterday, wounding 19 people and killing one, hated authority figures and planned to die in a ``hail of gunfire,'' according to Internet postings reported by two newspapers.

Too much TV.

Police have not identified the student who died from gun shot wounds yesterday. The Star identified her as Anastacia DeSousa. The wounded range in age from 17 to 48, Razek said.

Well who needs police when you have the media?

Gill wrote on one Web site that he wanted to die ``like Romeo and Juliet -- or in a hail of gunfire,'' the Star reported.

Well, that's two very different deaths. On one hand, you have two lovers committing suicide because they are faced with the unbearable thought of spending their lives away from one another. On the other hand, you have the final scene in Scarface.
"I want my death to be poetic, and to die for love and the beauty of the thought of spending eternal paradise with the woman I love. Or I want about nine or ten lead slugs to rip through my chest. Either or."

He was ``a fan'' of the Tec-9 semi-automatic handgun, the Star said.

As soon as someone pronounces themselves a "fan" of a weapon, it should be legal to kill them in self-defense.
