MONTREAL SCHOOL SHOOTING: Sari Stein was in the area and has been live-blogging. “It seems from the initial reports that the today’s episode bears more resemblance to the Columbine shootings and to the subsequent and oft-forgotten shooting at a high school in Taber, Alberta than to the previous Montreal shootings, but that probably won’t stop anyone from drawing parallels and from suggesting that school shootings are something of an epidemic here in Montreal, despite the rarity of these episodes.” And there’s a big blog roundup here, too.
