I'm sorry for interrupting your friendlist but this just happened 40 minutes ago.  Every news channel in my area has been in a frenzy.
You see, this college (equivalent to students in grade 12 or 13; we don't have that) has 10, 000 students.  This college/CEGEP is in the heart of downtown MontrĂ©al. Supposedly, two gun men with automatic rifles barged in the cafeteria shooting at anyone passing by them.  The police are searching for a "third" gunman. One gunman comitted suicide. Another was "neutralised" (killed) by police officers. Some students are saying that 20 gunshots were fired, others say 7.

Man, this is hard to type when you're listening to mixed news.
I don't know what to say.

Seeing these images of students my age covered with blood... crying, running for their lives.
It's like that incident that happened in 1989 at Polytechnique again.
(For those who didn't know, 14 women were massacred by a man simply because they were women. The man believed that women shouldn't go to school nor enter "male professions". He killed himself after the shooting.)

Augh. I'm just filled with confusion. 
I just hope that the victims recover.

Edit:  S.W.A.T teams are there and there's only one gunman. (not confirmed).
