This has nothing to do with politics but a lot to do with the world we live in. All though the day, myself and others at
Metroblogging Montreal were covering the shooting at Dawson College.
Little did we know that one of our own was in the middle of it:
Read his amazing firsthand account.
I then went to speak to a coworker to see if he knew anything, he knew nothing more than I did. He and I, along with a handful of other folks in the print shop were just kind of listening to more gunshots and screaming, trying to figure out what to do next because the shots were getting louder, therefor closer. A few other stragglers entered my area for safety and I was "manning the door" with yet another colleague while the others (approx. 12 people) were taking cover in the back area, out of view form the main door.
My colleague then spotted a young girl looking for cover in the hallway and ran out to help her. There was another gun shot as he got the student to the ground... he was hit in the shoulder and ran back to the print shop. I have no idea what happened to the student, I don't know if he knows either. He will be fine, I'm no expert on bullet wounds, but it looked like it went straight through.
