Three critical means no-one dead yet, yes?

Oh dear. That appears to be blood.

My old school, home of Dawson Sci-Fi. Please, let everyone be okay. I'll be holding my breath for news of the damage, and who was responsible.

Possibility of other shooters; an Australian news service is saying someone they think is the gunman killed himself; still no word on anyone else dead.

...just hitting refresh on Google News, don't mind me...

News here just mentioned 4 dead, 16 wounded, but that it's not known how many shooters and whether they're alive. The CBC website says one gunman was "neutralized" by police, and another possibly shot himself. Fucktastic.

Latest update on CBC radio is that the police have confirmed there was only one known gunman, and the official statistics are 10 wounded, 3 critically wounded, but we're getting a full briefing in about 10 minutes which will probably update the casualties.

So the update is that there are two shooters dead "after a police intervention", possibly a third.

I missed the start of the conference with the hospital rep unfortunately so I'm not sure what the casualties are like, and the CBC website didn't update with those numbers.

Only one gunman, and he's the only one dead.

One of the victims have succumbed to her wounds according to Global news. http://www.canada.com

Horrible. Baccalaureate version of the Columbine shootings a few years ago.

For us USA residents: according to Wikipedia, the CEGEP acronym means the school's equivalent to a community college or vocational college. That might or might not be germane to the shooting.

Collège d'Enseignement Général Et Professionnel. (college of general and professional education).

Grades 12 and 13 if pre-university, grades 12, 13 and 14 if for a technical degree, such as animal health technician.

It happened just around the corner from where I go to school.
It's really scary.
