There has been another tragic school shooting in Montreal with one young women killed and many others in the hospital. The young man, who seems to have been a Goth, was killed by police.
It brings back bad memories of when my oldest daughter went to Montreal to go to college and Marc Lepine walked through a university killing fourteen women. I just heard the news that someone was killing women in a school in Montreal and it was some time before I learned what school.  My sister in Ottawa just sent her daughter off to Montreal to start at McGill University and I know she's going through the same thoughts I had at that time.

It must be awful for those parents who send their kids off to school thinking they are safe and just starting with their lives.   bear_cry

My heart and prayers goes out to all those involved.  I couldn't believe it when I heard the news.  What is this world coming too.   bear_cry

My prayers are with the victims and their families.  It's hard to even imagine such a horrible act.

I just can't imagine why a twisted person does this.  I'm so sorry for the victims and their families.  Takes me back to the Columbine tragedy in Colorado.

Oh my my heart goes out to them , How very scary !!! I have a 21 year old still in college, and you just have to hug them every time you see them. He gets mad at me some times but this crazy old world you never know what will happen . He still walks around feeling safe. At that age you feel like nothing can happen. Boy you just never know, you could be at the grocery store, movie, bank, you  just never know. Lets just pray for all those families and young adults that just went through that !!

Such awful news, another tragic school shooting.  You can't imagine the horror of those kids facing a situation like that.  My thoughts are with them all.

Well girls, we just have to keep making our beautiful, comforting teddy bears, as our contribution to trying to make this old world of ours a much kinder, gentler place to be.  It is a bit of an uphill battle at the moment, isn't it?

I have a buddhist friend who doesn't believe in evil.  Kinda hard not to with this sort of thing going on.  I am so sorry for Montreal.   this sort of thing affects the whole community, as well as the school and the families. 

so very sorry for Montreal and all the families.
