The Montreal Massacre

The Montreal Massacre happened December 6th 1989.

The Montreal Massacre, was about a man going into a college in a engineer class, and shooting 15 women. When he shot these women, he made all the men leave, lined up all the girls, and shot them one by one.
The news of the Montreal Massacre spread easily. Some women survived the shooting by hiding in different rooms. In total there where 27 people shot, and 13 survived. The police that investigated the Montreal Massacre, couldnt identify Lepine very well, because he had shot himself in the face. Coroner Teresa Z. Sourour, thought that the police could have done more.
The women murdered were Anne St-Arneault, 23; Genevi ve Bergeron, 21; Hél ne Colgan, 23; Nathalie Croteau, 23; Barbara Daigneault, 22; Anne-Marie Edward, 21; Maud Haviernick, 29; Barbara Klueznick, 31; Maryse Lagani re, 25; Maryse Leclair, 23; Anne-Marie Lemay, 22; Sonia Pelletier, 23; Mich le Richard, 21; and Annie Turcotte, 21.

I was surprised to discover that there were ANY survivors of the Montreal Massacre. I was also surprised when I heard that a man would go into a college and shoot women. I honestly dont know why anyone would sit there and be able to go through that horrible site. Like, its sickening.

I think the affects of the Montreal Massacre, are the world will not be the same without those people. Every person makes a difference, and because they were killed there are less people to make a difference. All the people that were killed, had families and where a sister, a mother, a daughter. They all had lives, and were all going somewhere with theirs. They were in college, in a engineer class working hard.
I think that the steps need to be taken against women violence, are that every person who abuses a women (if its a man) should be put in jail, and never let out. And when they do get let out, they should be watched carefully to make sure it doesnt happen again. There should also be a huge memorial of the women who were killed.
