Rampage victims critical
Eleven wounded patients - aged 17 to 48 - being treated
Sep. 14, 2006. 11:07 AM
FROM CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL - Six people remained in critical condition on Thursday,
including two in "extremely critical" condition, after a
trenchcoat-clad gunman entered a downtown college and began mowing down
students.
A spokesman for the Montreal General Hospital said it is treating 11
shooting victims - six men and five women - aged between 17 and 48.
"Six of these patients remain in critical condition - two extremely
critical in the intensive care unit," Dr. Tarek Razek, the
hospital's trauma director, told a news conference. "Five patients
are in less critical, more stable condition.
"We had two injuries to the head and three to the abdomen that
we're dealing with. And two of those patients are in serious
condition, one of them to the head."
The gunman and a young female student were killed in Wednesday's
tragedy at Dawson College, while about 20 people in all were injured.
Several published reports identified the gunman as Kimveer Gill, 25, of
Laval, near Montreal. Police would not confirm his identity.
An online image gallery on Gill's blog contains more than 50 photos
depicting the young man in various poses holding a Baretta CX4 Storm
semi-automatic rifle and donning a long black trenchcoat and combat
boots.
"His name is Trench," he wrote on his vampirefreaks.com profile.
"You will come to know him as the Angel of Death."
Witnesses said they saw the gunman carrying an automatic rifle and two
other guns and that he was dressed head to toe in black when he stormed
into the sprawling downtown college.
A woman who died in the shooting was identified as Anastasia DeSousa,
18, of Montreal, although police would not confirm the name.
Matthew Wall, 18, went to the Montreal General Hospital on Thursday
morning because one of his friends was shot twice, including once in
the pelvis.
"Both bullets entered and exited, so she's going to be fine,"
Wall said. "She was shot outside.
"I felt OK at home before but ... it's a little nerve-racking.
You're on edge a lot. It's pretty heavy ... because it's not
anything that anyone would have suspected or anything that anyone saw
coming."
There have been conflicting reports about how the gunman was shot and
killed.
Police Chief Yvan Delorme said officers killed him. However, witnesses
told Montreal La Presse he shot himself in the head after police a
bullet struck him in the leg. Officers then dragged him outside, where
he died on the street.
The shootings recalled Marc Lepine's murderous rampage at
Montreal's Ecole Polytechnique school on Dec. 6, 1989, when he opened
fire and ended up killing 14 women.
Delorme said the lessons learned from the Montreal Massacre about the
need to co-ordinate emergency services and act promptly helped save
lives.
"Before, our technique was to establish a perimeter around the place
and wait for the SWAT team," he said. "Now the first police
officers go right inside. The way they acted saved lives."
