    The person who hid the weapons bag deserves recognition as well. Just willing yourself to bolt in that situation is hard enough, but having the presence of mind to do something that (as with James' actions) likely saved lives is a cut above.

    Adrian always tricks me with his accent. He sounds so sweet and gentle 99% of the time, as if he doesn't have a care in the world and never gets upset. But there's moments where he throws in a curveball that makes me spit out my drink. "...who, if you don't know them by name, are the two vile sh*tbags responsible for the Columbine High School shootings..." And then he casually continues on with his story, as if that didn't just happen. Well done, sir, well done!

    Would be interesting if Coffeehouse Crime cover the case of Sumanto. Sumanto is famous in Indonesia for all the wrong reason. He's basically Ed Gein (stealing corpses) but he consume those corpses and I think give some of the cooked meat to his neighbors. Indonesia is WILD. Some of the cases are so surreal it's hard to comprehend that it's real.

    One thing that’s sad in cases like this, something that’s rarely addressed, is the family of the killer. They go through a horrible kind of grief….the loss of their son…and the overwhelming burden of the killer being their son. I think they can never recover, have no support, and in fact, get targeted. Does anyone remember the Casey Anthony case? Her parents were literally tormented by total strangers. We all feel the tragedy of the loss of a beautiful young woman. Somehow people feel like the family of the perpetrator should be held to blame. There are victims scattered wide after these tragedies.

      Maybe... maybe not. It's possible they have no idea what their child is doing and no control. I don't condone people targeting the family but sometimes family members are enablers, supporters, encouragers and protectors of murderers. In which case I feel no sympathy at all.

      I remember that it enraged me when some social conservative types blamed Megadeth's music for the shooting.
      It seems like the only time the media makes a big deal about a horrible person's taste in music is when it's metal, or something else on the heavier end of the spectrum. That's not fair.
      I would like to read or hear about a horrible crime where the killer or killers listed their favorite music as Luke Bryan or Ariana Grande for once.

      ​​@@RequiredFieldsWell thinking about the population in general its safe to assume there is a fair percentage of people who listen to pop music. A percentage larger than listen to metal (as I do).
      Statistically that means those musical tastes are spread out amongst killers, its just that it's unusual to point out the interests of a criminal unless its relevant to the crime.
      Like certain games GTA for example, sections of the media (usually hyped up by religious folk) love a good bogeyman to blame.
      & Of course they look to whatever they don't understand or what they think the pearl clutchers will freak out over.

When I went by shortly after this happened to visit him in his office, I could still see the bullet holes in the wall ( they were still cleaning up and fixing it ).

      The production quality is always very good. And it's one of the best channels out there. But I think he can lack professionalism from time to time. Especially when he speaks ill of the police or possible suspects. I think it's dangerous to get personal, as you only have the facts that have been released publicly. And he shouldn't be so obsolete with his opinions, untill someone has been in front of a jury. Now all these cases are discussed so much in the mainstream, it could effect future verdicts. But I guess, he gets more followers being personal and decisive.

    I was in my first semester at Dawson when this happened. I was on my way to class when someone messaged me to stay away, thankfully before I reached the metro and lost cell service. That was one of the scariest days of my life and ruined my ability to go to school for a long time, even after they renovated the school. I thought I was over a lot of the trauma but I just started crying seeing the security camera footage. A girl from my graduating class of high school was shot. My mom worked with Leslie. The shooter gathered up a few students as hostages, including my cousin’s boyfriend at the time, and went down the line aiming his gun at their torsos, he paused at my cousin’s boyfriend and then shot the guy next to him in the stomach. RIP Anastasia we will never ever forget.

      Aside from the loss of life being hit by gun fire is no joke. Some of those injured will suffer for the rest of their life with more than just anxiety or ptsd. The nerve damage, the scar tissue and other physical pains or possible addictions they will endure will sometimes shorten their life spans. It effects those injured almost to the same extent as the end of life, the life they knew is ended, their new life begins.

    I went to Dawson college years later, from 2012 to 2015. Many of my teachers told us about that day. One explained he was allowing phones in his class as on that day, his class was finishing as the killer was entering the school and of the students would have left the room, they would have run directly into him. But some people receive text messages telling about the shooter so they instead stayed barricaded in the room until it was safe.
    The little garden they made for Anastasia is pretty. Its a really sad story and even years later it felt surreal to just go eat in a cafeteria where such horrible acts happened... I had never saw images of the moment, its kind of guts wrenching to see place I know in such as state, it must have been so horrible for everyone there.

    One thing to note about the Columbine Shooters they were not social outcast or loners. They were very social and were considered popular amongst their peers. They did hate humanity based on what evidence and were also in fact bullies at their school. This is something that is always commonly mixed up because the fact that most people who are "shooters" fall into the category of loners or social outcast. Most of this I learned back in College and interviews from students during that time.

He said that after he begged to make sure Anastasia was alright, the shooter went over and emptied a clip into her. She didn't just die of a gunshot wound to the stomach. He made sure she was dead. It's one of the most awful stories ive heard of.

He wants to be a fake tough guy and attack unarmed and undeserving people, indulge in their fear and the only power he experienced in life (for a few minutes). When it comes time to face opposition and engage in actual combat... He's overcome with fear , can't even go down fighting or surrender and face the fury... So he takes the path of least resistance, like a coward. I'm so tired of these pathetic creeps and cowards.

Unless I am mistaken, this was the third school shooting to ever occur in Montreal (starting with Polytechnique in 1989). Even so, we were all so scared that it happened....

    You've done a superb job of capturing the elements of this incident, and it's the first time I've heard additional details about the 2006 Dawson tragedy that were previously unknown to me. My friend, Montreal Constable Denis Côté, is the officer who drove across town, grabbed a rookie upon arriving at the scene, and they both stormed inside the cafeteria, where Denis shot Gill, putting an end to the madness. Two months later, Denis was honoured for his heroics during our annual police awards gala, where he was given a standing ovation. Meanwhile, my ex girlfriend's son was one of the first victims, as bullets from Gill's assault rifle ripped through 8 entry and exit points in his chest. He survived, as did his girlfriend, who was shot in the chest. Both suffered severe PTSD, as did my ex. Thank you again for your brilliant breakdown of this terrible day.

    As for this horrible crime, it's so sad Quebec was home to two horrible moments when ordinary people went postal. The first, in 1989, was caused by a demented incel and this one was caused by a misanthropic psychopath that never sought the help he should've got instead.

      Hey, I went through the same phase as you after the shooting happened. I didnt see anything but it was because i was in that caf extension in the atrium thankfully blocked by the sliding door otherwise I would have seen quite a bit. But yea as for what we both did to try to cope, I remember looking up his VF page all the time and read the history of his posts. Even when the site blocked or deleted it from the public I got a link to bypass all that that still showed everything, I guess because detectives still needed access to it. So you weren't the only one lol. As for why he did it to our cegep, I have no clue. He went to Vanier for a while so its not like he got bullied here and sought out revenge for that. I have heard a rumor though that his first target was not the school but Atwater metro station. Apparently his plan was to get on and once it started moving he would go and shoot up as many carts as he could since nobody could run, but there were cops there already dealing with something else and it spooked him so he thought hed go for the school instead. Part of the rumor that makes sense is how the police response was so fast, if they were right down there it wouldnt have taken them much time to get to the atrium. Still an unverified rumor so i dont know for sure... glad you got out of there physically alright though...

      @@Legion_33666 Hey - glad to hear you made it out of there physically unscathed aswell :) It was my first semester in college and I had only been going to school for 3 weeks when this tragedy happened. I was just about to head down the stairs from the third floor down to the caf in the atirum where the shooting was taking place when I heard a long series of shots, people that started screaming and I was hit with a wave of students running fast in my direction. One of my friends came running towards me and told me there was a shooter and that we had to run. So we headed back to a group of friends that we had been hanging with prior to warn them. Unfortunately we all exited the building through the way he came in, and by the time we all finally made it outside, I was faced with a guy on the ground clenching his chest - his white shirt was soaked in blood. Thankfully the paramedics had just arrived and were taking care of him. I was frozen in place - I felt like I was drowning in a sea of people, people screaming, sirens, the sound of helicopters hovering above - it's all still burned into my memory. There was even a guy covered in blood and talking on the phone while laughing like, ''Hahaha some dude just got shot in front of me hahaha'' we all react differently under shock I suppose... A girl I knew from highschool got shot that day as well... thankfully there weren't more casualtys but it still really screwed up so many lives... I personally get really agitated in crowded areas because of it :( Anyway. I guess that whole situation is one of the reasons why I love crime docs so much! I'm always trying to understand why or what lead people to committing these atrocities. My final take? I think he was just depressed, lonely, filled with hatred towards society and decided to go down in a blaze of glory. :/

    A note of thanks for the time and care you put into these real life stories. Your kindness and respectfulness toward those harmed or killed is very much appreciated.
    I think that true crime stories that are sensitively presented, as is the case with your channel, make people more aware of the importance of taking some common sense precautions when going out to enjoy nightlife, or when attending special events where large crowds gather, or being mindful about safety measures such as using the “buddy” system, and making a plan about keeping in touch with family or roommates while socializing on your own. Of course, we have no full proof method that can keep us safe in every situation, as this story illustrates, but many have likely avoided bad situations by being made aware of what has happened to others.
    Your manner of introducing us to the victims of the crimes you cover keeps their memories alive as human beings who were not just victims, but also individuals who shared many gifts while they were here with us. It’s not just a saying that we are all diminished when we lose someone to violence. It’s a fact.

    Montrealer here! Your channel is one of the very few « true crime » channels I really enjoyed because of the focus on the victims and the way you humanized them.
    One of my best friends was at the Dawson College when this tragedy happened. Fortunately, he was not injured and never crossed the path of the killer, but whenever the shooting is mentioned, he would remember people screaming and running on the streets and has this strange feeling of having been close to the wrong place at the wrong time. He was around the same age as Anastasia. Really, this young woman had her future stolen from her by the scumbag.
    Minor mistake you made : Dawson is not an university. Dawson is what we call a CEGEP here in Quebec. Kinda like a pre-university college (or community college like in the US). But I don't blame you for that because our Quebec education system is quite unique in the world. Oh! And Montreal is NOT the capital city of Canada (it's Ottawa) but I can safely say it's the cultural capital city of Canada. :)
    Speaking about Montreal, I was wondering if you would cover the infamous 1989 Polytechnique massacre which is the worst shooting in Canada's history (14 women were killed) and has been a traumatic event in my city. There is also the 2012 murder of Jun Lin, a Chinese student at Concordia University, which was recorded online and has spawned an Interpol warrant for his killer Luka Magnotta who was arrested in Berlin.
