We are hearing reports of a shooting rampage in downtown Montreal. Anyone know what is going on?

It is crazy. I just spoke with my cousin who goes to Dawson. He is fine thankfully. He said it was absolutely crazy -- people screaming and crying. He said there are several injuries and one of the gunmen is dead. This world is just crazy -- so many nuts!
It has been CNN all afternoon -- for the 1st time it seems American news media actually care about something north of the border.

How awful. I don't understand people who do things like this.

I actually grew up in Montreal and bullying can be a real problem especially if you are a visble minority. I am sure the kid was bullied and his parents were probably not too close. He went down the wrong path! It is sad. Feel very bad for the girl who died and your family.

Where in the world did this come from? how can you be "sure" this individual was bullied? Not sure how growing up in Montreal can give you the insight to make the claims you just did.

Probably the same place where the media came up with the idea that since he was "Goth" that is why he did this?

But if the media were to find the true meaning of Goth, he was nowhere near that! He was a Poser!

It's plain and simple, he was a screwed up kid! living in a fantasy world! He could not differetiate between reality and his screwed up world!

Condolences to the family of the girl shot and killed and prayers to all others.

Nagle - what are you talking about?
Have you not watched the media reports and the countless students who knew him in highschool and said that he was bullied? These are facts!
Many people said he was bullied for his clothing (they said, "looked like his mother dressed him.") and he was bullied for being of East Indian descent. People who knew him claimed that kids were mean and called him racial slurs. I was merely stating the FACTS.

What bothers me is that some sicko thought to make money from some video game about the Columbine shootings and then this guy plays it all the time! What person in their right mind would manufacture a game about such a tragic school event?

He was a smart sicko who made millions off of a tragic event just like the makers of the movie flight 93 and the twin towers movie that Nicholas cage is in same motivation and that would be MONEY.
