Yesterday at noon a young, white, male walked into Montreal's Dawson College and started shooting.
Details were scarce yesterday but more are becoming available as the investigation continues. CBC seems to be making a big deal to the killer's GOTH connections, as he apparently had a blog where he states that he can be called the Angel of Death.
A Google search peformed just before 12pm on September 14 for the killer's name, "Kimveer Gill" found one reference on Gothmetal.net along with other names of members of that site, but the site was unavailable, which I think could be due to increased traffic from similar searches. The VampireFreaks site so far has nothing posted on their front page, but accessing the site is quite slow, possibly for the same reasons. I've been to the site before, but I'm not actually a member so I don't know how things are brewing on the inside.
The CBC article mentions the killer's connection to VampireFreaks.com:

http://dawna-in-halifax.blogspot.com/2006/09/shocking-world-sometimes.html I expect as more news comes out and Google 'bots do another sweep, there will be more hits in the future. A few people are probably wondering how much the goth angle is going to be taken up by the press, but it seems pretty clear so far that guy was already VERRRY messed up.
