Montreal Students cry, hug, wonder if they'll return

On Wednesday September 13, 2006 at approximately 1:51 PM shots rang out in front of Dawson College in Montreal, Canada. Kimveer Gill opened fire Wednesday afternoon killing 1 and leaving 20 wounded before taking his own life. Since the shooting there has been around 150 phone calls to the local Montreal Hospital most who are looking to receive psychological support. Many people attended the shrine that was made in remembrance of Anastasia De Souza the lone victim that was killed Wednesday afternoon. Many students say it will be very difficult to return to class on Monday after such a tragic event.
School is supposed to be a place that students can feel safe. Unfortunately, from elementary all the way to college, more and more of these events are happening that makes students feel unsafe even to go to school. No matter what safety measures there are in schools there will always be ways for these crazy people to terrorize our schools.
