EP238: The Ecole Polytechnique Shooting Aug 19, 2024

Show notes

Around 5:30 on Wednesday, December 6, 1989, the Café Campus at the Université de Montréal was busy as usual. It had been a favorite spot for students and because the temperatures were below zero that day, it was a warm place for students to gather. It was the end of the semester, and for some, it had been the last day of classes before the holiday break. Suddenly the normal buzz of the café was interrupted when customers in the Café saw a tidal wave of people in a panic running down the hill towards them. It was soon discovered that a gunman was on the loose on campus and the attack.
