Woman, gunman dead in Montreal school rampage

One person has died in hospital as a result of the shooting rampage at a downtown Montreal college Wednesday that also left the gunman dead and 19 others injured.

Paramedics confirmed 20 people were taken to hospital with injuries ranging from gunshot wounds to emotional shock following the shooting at Dawson College.

Police Chief Yvan Delorme told RDI television that a woman in her 20s had died.

Montreal General Hospital officials said eight patients were in critical condition, with two undergoing emergency surgery late Wednesday night. The hospital said it would not issue a further statement on the victims' conditions until early Thursday.

Three other victims were taken to Jean Talon Hospital and two others were transported to the Jewish General Hospital.

The lone gunman was shot dead by police minutes after he opened fire on the student body at Dawson College, a CEGEP serving about 10,000 students near the Old Forum in Montreal.

The suspect reportedly walked into Dawson College around 12:41 p.m. ET and began firing at students in the cafeteria. Police arrived three minutes later.

Family members of Dawson College students can call (514) 280-2880 or (514) 280-2806 for more information, police said.
