A gunman confronts 60 engineering students during their class at l'École Polytechnique in Montreal on Dec. 6, 1989. He separates the men from the women and tells the men to leave the classroom, threatening them with his .22-calibre rifle. The enraged man begins a shooting rampage that spreads to three floors and several classrooms, jumping from desk to desk while female students cower below. He roams the corridors yelling, "I want women." Before opening fire in the engineering class, he calls the women "une gang de féministes" and says "J'haïs les féministes [I hate feminists]." One person pleads that they are not feminists, just students taking engineering. But the gunman doesn't listen. He shoots the women and then kills himself. Parents of the Polytechnique students wait outside the school crying and wonder if their daughters are among the 14 dead tonight.
I was surprised to discover....
- To find out that he had killed him self
- Seeing a man lay down faking dead
- Why just the girls died
- That one of the women lived
- That the men were let go and at least 14 women died- It was in 1989
- The killer was Marc Lepine
- it happened for For 45 minutes on Dec. 6, 1989
The steps that need to be taken to stop violence against women are stoping violence not letting people go in to places with out being searched and checked for anything on them that could be harmful to people in the area.
