While I was blogging about the CASE conference today, a big story was developing on the campus of Dawson College in Montreal. A gunman opened fire in the cafeteria and atrium of the campus, wounding 20, before he was shot and killed by police.
The school’s response to this crisis is posted in red bold type on the Dawson College website:
Dawson College is CLOSED due to emergency.
DO NOT come to Dawson College or the area today.
Check the website tomorrow to know if you should come to classes or not. Please do not call the school as the telephone lines need to remain open.
Students – call your families.
Thank you for your co-operation.
