Subject: RE: BS: School Shooting In Montreal
Excerpt from the CBC News:

A gunman who opened fire in a downtown Montreal college Wednesday afternoon is dead "after police intervention," police confirmed at a news conference.

Earlier reports had said as many as three shooters walked into Dawson College at 12:41 p.m. ET and began firing at students. Sources told local media outlets that two gunmen were dead.

"I cannot confirm there is another suspect at this time," a police spokesman told reporters at about 4:30 p.m. ET.

At least 11 people were injured in the shooting rampage that terrorized students and staff at the college, a CEGEP serving about 10,000 students.

In a late-afternoon news conference, Montreal General Hospital officials said 11 people had been admitted, eight of them in critical condition. It's not known if injured people were also sent to other hospitals.
