Gunman Kills One, Wounds 19 at Montreal College Assailant in Trench Coat Shot Dead by Police By PHIL COUVRETTE, AP MONTREAL (Sept. 14) - A young man in a black trench coat and a mohawk haircut opened fire Wednesday at a Montreal college, slaying a woman and wounding at least 19 other people before police shot and killed him, witnesses and authorities said. Police dismissed suggestions that terrorism played a role in the lunch-hour attack at downtown Dawson College, where scores of panicked students fled into the streets after the shooting began. Some had clothes stained with blood; others cried and clung to each other. Two nearby shopping centers and a daycare center also were evacuated and subway service was disrupted. "I was terrified. The guy was shooting at people randomly. He didn't care, he was just shooting at everybody," said student Devansh Smri Vastava. "There were cops firing. It was so crazy." Police said the 25-year-old attacker had a rapid-fire rifle and two other weapons, which they did not further describe. Witnesses said he started firing outside the college before walking in the front door. Much of the shooting was in the second-floor cafeteria, where students dropped to the floor and lay in terror. At times the gunman hid behind vending machines before emerging to take aim _ at one point at a teenager who tried to photograph him with his cell phone. Teachers ran through the halls, telling everyone to get out of the building. Montreal Police Chief Yvan Delorme said the attacker was shooting haphazardly at no target in particular, until he saw the police and took aim at them. Police hid behind a wall as they exchanged fire with the gunman, whose back was against a vending machine, said student Andrea Barone, who was in the cafeteria. He said the officers proceeded cautiously because many students were trapped around the assailant, who yelled "Get back! Get back!" every time an officer tried to move closer. Eventually, Barone said, the gunman went down in hail of gunfire. Delorme said some officers had already been at the school on an unrelated matter when the shooting erupted. He said reinforcements rushed to the scene and took part in the shooting. Police Sgt. Francois Dore said that the attacker was from the Montreal area, but he did not provide a name or any further details. Dore said his car was still at the school and police were searching his apartment. Although police initially suggested the gunman had killed himself, Delorme later said at a news conference that "based on current information, the suspect was killed by police." Police with guns drawn stood behind a police cruiser as a SWAT team swarmed the 12-acre campus. Delorme said later that "there was only one suspect on site, he was not assisted by someone else." Montreal General Hospital said 11 people were admitted, including eight who were in critical condition. Nine others were taken to two other hospitals. One young woman later died, a police official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the victim's next-of-kin had not yet been notified. "Today we have witnessed a cowardly and senseless act of violence unfold at Montreal's Dawson College," Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said. "Our primary concern right now is to ensure the safety and recovery of all those who were injured during this tragedy." The school was closed until Monday. The shooting recalled the 1999 attack at Columbine High School in Colorado, where two students wearing trench coats killed 13 people before committing suicide. Canada's worst mass shooting also happened in Montreal. Gunman Marc Lepine killed 14 women at the Ecole Polytechnic on Dec. 6, 1989, before shooting himself. The 25-year-old Lepine roamed the halls of the school firing a rifle, specifically targeting women whom he claimed in a suicide note had ruined his life. Nine other women and four men were wounded. That shooting spurred efforts for new gun laws and greater awareness of societal violence - particularly domestic abuse. Canada's tighter gun law was achieved mainly as the results of efforts by survivors and relatives of Lepine's victims. Dawson is more of a pre-college division than a traditional university. It was the first English-language institution in Quebec's network of university preparatory colleges when it was founded in 1969. With about 10,000 students, it is the largest college of general and vocational education, known by its French acronym CEGEP, in the province. Witnesses to Wednesday's attack said a man wearing a black trench coat entered the school cafeteria and opened fire without uttering a word. Derick Osei, 19, said he was walking down the stairs to the cafeteria when he saw a man with a gun. "He ... just started shooting up the place. I ran up to the third floor and I looked down and he was still shooting," Osei said. "He was hiding behind the vending machines and he came out with a gun and started pointing and pointed at me. So I ran up the stairs. I saw a girl get shot in the leg." Osei said people in the cafeteria were all lying on the floor. "I saw the gunman who was dressed in black and at that time he was shooting at people," student Michel Boyer told CTV. "I immediately hit the floor. It was probably one of the most frightening moments of my life." "He was shooting randomly, I didn't know what he was shooting at, but everyone was screaming, Get out of the building!" Boyer said. "Everybody was in tears. Everybody was so worried for their own safety for their own lives." Raamias Hernandez, 19, said he had just finished his class when he saw everyone start to run. He said the gunman was dressed in a black jacket and had a mohawk haircut. Hernandez said he started to take pictures with his cell phone with his friend and the suspect saw them and started shooting. Vastava said he saw a man in military fatigues with "a big rifle" storm the cafeteria. "He just started shooting at people," Vastava said, adding that he heard about 20 shots fired. He also said teachers ran through the halls telling students to get out. "We all ran upstairs." Barone, 17, said he was sitting in the cafeteria with his girlfriend and some friends when he heard some shots. "At first I thought it was a firecracker," he said. "Then I turned around and I saw him. He was dressed in a black trench coat and I saw his hand firing a handgun in every direction." Barone said a police officer emerged from a corner next to the cafeteria and fired a shot in the direction of the gunman no more than several yards away and missed him. Five or six more police officers showed up, he said. Barone said it was like a running battle with five or six shots fired in both directions every minute. After police eventually killed the gunman, the officers helped the students leave the cafeteria, crawling out on their bellies along a wall. Barone said as they were crawling out toward an exit they saw a girl who had been shot in the torso and who was face down surrounded by a pool of blood. He said officers told them: "Don't look, don't look. Keep going out." AP Writer Rob Gillies contributed to this report from Toronto.

LL COOL J w/ LLOYD BANKS + HOT ROD - Bump This Todd Smith 2 (2006) Ugh...why is LL doing this...not really feeling this...tho' i'm not surprised.

I actually find this shocking. What makes couples stay 2gether this song, then realize it's not working? They both need 2 get their lives in order...hopefully then can push past this and be good parents if they don't intend on trying 2 fix things.

I'll give them props 4 this...and only this. I think it's so stupid 4 someone 2 preach poison and negativity...then do something positive. If it's really in your heart 2 uplift people, then do it in your music and lyrics.

I got Justin's new album cuz i liked the song "My Love" and another song that i heard on the radio. The album is average at best....i don't really like it tho.' And i agree with Julie that Beyonce does her best work with DC.

JOHN MAYER - Continuum (da album) (2006)

Yeah, those R-N-B trax are strictly for comical reasons. Some people are taking it so seriously. Anyone who knows Flavor Flav knows his style and how he talks and interviews. It's all fun...don't take Flav's music 2 seriously....he doesn't.

LL COOL J - Pink Cookies In A Plastic Bag Getting Crushed By Buildings (Remix) Pink Cookies...(Import CD Single) / 14 Shots To The Dome (1993) It took me YEARS 2 find this CD single since i 1st saw it in stores...i FINALLY have it!! This remix waz used in the video. The old heads may remember it. Flawless mid-90's style.

Flavour Flav is hilarious. Definitly one of the funniest people in Hip-Hop. He's never been considered a serious emcee and that's why he can get away with the crazy stuff he does. I'm definitly gonna pick the album up. It's been almost 10 years since he started recording to release a solo album.

I hate what the internet has done 2 the music industry.

How many rappers and emcees DON'T say "This is my best album ever." Nearly every musical artist says that at the time that a new album is dropping...even if they've released 20 albums.

This sounds like an answered prayer. If this is true, i think most people can say they saw this coming...cuz it's no secret that he's been running the label in2 the ground. To me, Def Jam's doors closed when Russell left.

Thanx 4 that article!! 2Pac was years ahead of his time. When it comes 2 lyrics, 2Pac really is amoungst the best. He gets overlooked by those who are turned off by the commercial success he had since commerical success often means crappy music. And 2Pac's sound (at least the music he actually released while alive) waz dope. Since he grew up in different places, he took vibes from the east coast and west coast and made it his own. I like how the article pointed out that wack rapper #2's work on 2Pac's music was an embarassment and how some of the doctored stuff released after his death no where near the level of quality 2Pac would have put out. I hate when people throw 2Pac in2 the same category as Biggie and Big Pun. No offense to them, but neither of them had lyrics that found relevant or could relate 2. Most of their producion waz on the same C-level that their lyrics were on. Even those who actually like them are ignorant if they toss them in the same catogory as 2Pac.

I was 21. It waz my day off and i didn't have any classes that day. My mom actually woke me at 8 or 9 that morning to tell me my Uncle died (which was totally unrelated 2 the attacks). That waz sad but no real surprise due to his health. I went back to sleep and work up about 2 hours later. For some reason my dad waz home from work and said "have you heard what's been going on?" I waz like "Yeah, Uncle Bill passed away this morning." He waz like "no..." and pointed at the TV. It waz really one of those things that just didn't sink in for awhile. My heart definitly went out 2 all of the people effected by it on all levels, but it just seemed so surreal that didn't really realize exactly what waz going on. I remember that me and my girlfriend (at the time) had just started going out. Life waz just very bright, carefree, and fun at that point. My girlfriend's classes got cancelled that day and half of the shopping centers were closed. We got away and had a picnic in the middle of the woods with what waz going on as an underline to the moment. But late that nite, when i waz alone, it all really sunk in and felt like a reality. I turned on the TV and kinda soaked it all in. That nite, life just felt darker. It's amazing how TV and music changed. And how much some people changed...at least 4 the moment. While i think it's 2 much to dwell on 9/11, i think that it's wake-up call has worn off on the US. The entire world for that matter needs more heart.

Actually, a handful of trax off her 1st album are R-N-B.

I saw that. I few people may clown me, but actually like Shaq's music alot. And he's skillz got better with every album. That KaySlay joint actually jacks Shaq's 1996 single with The Notorious B.I.G. called "Can't Stop The Reign." I didn't know it waz off KaySlay's album, i just saw the video...and liked it. That track i waz listening 2 waz the 1st single off Shaq's 2001/2002 album that never came out. Even tho' most people probably don't feel his flow, i think they'd like this track...if they like the whole Roots/Common Sense/Joi/James Poyser type stuff since they all shined on the track. Anyways...back 2 the music... NICK LACHEY - On And On SoulO (2003)

And a good remix at that. I still think that Redy Eye Mix of "Can't Wait..." is my fav tho.'

Something on Bobby Jones' Gospel

As i think about it, it does remind me of something i'd do 10 years ago. Please 4give my negative vibe...i've been going thru' alot lately and i've noticed myself responding 2 things kinda weird simply becuz of the vibe i'm on at the moment. This morning, this post waz funny 2 me, last night it wazn't.

SHAQUILLE O'NEAL, COMMON SENSE, + THE ROOTS - In The Sun (Shelved 2001 album - promo single) (2001)

:wtf: It's times like this where i refur "Don't Say Nothin'"....'if u ain't got nuttin' nice 2 say...don't say nuttin'...'

I didn't even know about these awards....thanx 4 posting.

Driving withotut a license...this will get him even more street cred amoungst 12 year olds.

Beyonce's new album is good...above average...but nothing incredible. I like that she stretched herself 2 do something new. Her 1st album waz good...but it waz definitly missing an edge. This album at least has an attempt 2 add an edge 2 it. I think that since she did the whole album in 2 weeks is why it not incredible. The fact that she did try 2 do alot of uptempo songs is why some of the deeper soul is missing. But i like that she tossed some life instruements in2 the mix. I like Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake...but 2 say they are the face of R-N-B is rediculous. Nelly Furtado breaks alot of music rules and has a bit of everything in her music. Labeling her is silly. Justin Timberlake mixes R-N-B and Pop with a dash of other musical styles...labeling him R-N-B is just as silly. R-N-B is Brian McKnight, Luther Vandross, Marvin Gaye, Tamia, Goapele, etc. Beyonce did 22 trax in 2 weeks and rushed this album out. Her lyrics and vocals are amazing. The album's only weakness is that she stayed away from the slower soulful stuff (which she did on purpose) and that the album feels like a bunch of songs put 2gether...not a totally complete album.
