Update...
It seems that there are multiple shooters. From an eyewitness on CJAD at least one was armed with an automatic weapon, and he saw 5 people go down. Last police update has multiple victims at least 3 critical and they have yet to enter the building. They started firing before they entered and are still at large.

Eyewitnesses seem to be describing at least two different shooters. Most describe someone in a long black trenchcoat with long black hair and a rifle or smg. Others have described someone in army fatigues with short dirty blonde hair and a pistol. No confirmed deaths of either victims or shooter as of yet.

Downtown Today
I was in the area today, shortly after the shootings happened and before the gunmen were “neutralized”. It was a very intense scene. The police were blocking off Sherbrooke, and St. Cat’s. Droves of people were leaving the area. I passed by Westmont Square- where at that time they believed the gunman had fled to. People locked in their offices were looking down at their co-workers on the street. Everyone was on their cell phone- the network was jammed. Some were crying; I saw a man holding his head in his hands saying: “Just pray, Just pray”. There were all kinds of police- and swat teams in the area. You could just feel fear in the air. People were terrified. The Metro was shut down and it was total gridlock on the roads. Like I said before: it was intense. Everyone was very upset.

Situation stabilized
It seems that according to the police there was only one shooter. The area has been secured and people are being asked to stay out of the area. One death has been confirmed and it is believed to have been the shooter. Let's hope that he is the only one who has died due to this insane act.

Only one shooter, dressed in a black trenchcoat with a short blonde mohawk
Hope all the victims survived the attack
Nothing surprises me anymore

ZM, Dawson is still the same way today. It's always been a very laid back place and has never had any real problems. As much as we'd like every place to be secure it's an impossible task. Even if we lock down all the schools, lunatics like this will just find another place to wreak havoc, a food court in a mall or even just a busy downtown street. There's no way to prevent something like this from happening. Unfortunately.
It seems that there was one fatality other than the gunman. A very sad developement. Thankfully it wasn't worse as it very easily could have been.

I know an SP who goes there La Presse
La Presse newpaper is stating that the shooter is of Sri Lankan origin.I have friends that go to that college and they told me the man is of white origin.Stupid media can't get there facts straight and the ones running the media only make us see what they want us to see.Then they say there was maybe one shooter or maybe more than one.I took a class in college our professor told us was that 90% of news is bullshit.When there is no story they'll make up a story.This is why I stopped watching the news and reading the newpaper.Just stating my opinion.

Incredible
Hello all,
It is heartbreaking to hear about this kind of thing again and again and again. We see so much of it here in the U.S. I was watching CNN around 3:30 when they reported 2 dead gunman, I believe, and that the authorities were searching for other possible gunman. I started thinking about the people I know in Montreal and how the city always seemed apart from these things, then I heard about the Polytechnique massacre. It makes you wonder where you can ever really be safe, especially when you remember how it can even happen in an isolated area like rural Colorado and Columbine High School. Well, my sympathies for all you are going through and prayers for your well-being go out to all of you.
Take care,
Korbel
