Wow, I haven't updated this blog in ages. But my return is not under happy circumstances, unfortunately.
There's been a school shooting at Dawson College in downtown Montreal. An 18 year-old girl is dead, and about 19 others injured (about 4 of whom are in critical condition). The gunman is dead.
I know this sounds really clichéd, but you just don't expect this kind of thing to happen so close to home. When you go to school in the morning, the possibility of being confronted by a gun-wielding madman just seems so unlikely. It seems impossible. Yet it is.
There have been no reports of the gunman being a student or former student of Dawson, so I can't help but wonder what made him choose that school and not another. What if he had picked the next nearest CEGEP, where my sister studies? McGill is a large and well-known university; is the next nutcase going to head there?
Well, that's all I feel like saying for now. My sympathies go out to the victims and their families.
The road goes ever on and on...
"Uh oh. Is this gonna be one of those crazy experiments that crosses a line Man was not meant to cross?"
