Dawson College Shooting
On September 13, 2006, Gill arrived at the Dawson College campus in Montreal, armed with a Beretta Cx4 Storm carbine. Before entering the cafeteria, he began shooting people outside the entrance and continued shooting once he had entered the school, killing 18-year-old Anastasia De Sousa and wounding nineteen other people and holding one student hostage before officer Denis Côté and other police officers shot him in the right arm. Gill then turned his gun on himself and committed suicide. Authorities concluded the attack was premeditated, after a short suicide note was found strapped inside Gill's trenchcoat.

Milo: Why?
Jerry: They’re officious and dull. They’re always making profound observations they’ve overheard.”
