College shooting in Montréal.

Well, it's total chaos there right now my mum's friend says. A girl they're letting stay with them from Jamaica attends Dawson College and just started her first year. I'm being told she's okay and that she had ran to a restaurant or bar further away.

Concordia is sheltering students (it's only 3 or 4 blocks away) too at Sir George Williams.

I could try and describe what area is shut down but many of you probably don't know the area. The mall/shopping plaza you might be hearing about--Alexis-Nihon-- was a shopping plaza I used to go to on many, many occaisions with mum and dad. The plaza is located right next door to the college and is connected tot he metro station underground and I had walked down there this summer in front of the college where all the chaos is which, when I think about it was only a few weeks ago.

Most of the metro apparently has been shut down on the green line from Lionel to Peel. So it's almost as if downtown near that area is locked down. Anyone looking to go home, students included because the metros in front of Dawson and Concorcia---Atwater and Guy-Concordia respectively---are closed. Yeah...

Bloody hell.

That's just not supposed to happen.

Not in that part of the city either.
