Yesterday afternoon, a man walked into Dawson College in Montreal and started shooting. He wasn't after anyone in particular, just started shooting. This has been a HUGE DEAL in Canada. All over the news. They're doing the usual "blame the goths, blame first person shooters" stuff, but everything aside, it's scary. In Quebec, they don't have grade 12. They have a year of independant study at college. So there were 16 year old kids there. My age. It's pretty scary.
The stories are horrifying and so far one girl has died and a bunch of others are still in hospital. I don't know anyone at Dawson right now, I used to have a friend who went there, but I still send prayers to all those students who had to deal with this. As Patti said "You teens are young. You shouldn't have to deal with this kind of thing. And yet, you do."
