Canada's Columbine - Montreal Shooting
Six people remained in critical condition on Thursday, including two in very critical condition, after a trenchcoat-clad gunman entered a downtown college and began mowing down students.A spokesman for the Montreal General Hospital said it is treating 11 shooting victims — six men and five women — aged between 17 and 48.
"Six of these patients remain in critical condition — two extremely critical in the intensive care unit," Tarek Razek, the hospital's trauma director, told a news conference. "Five patients are in less critical, more stable condition.
"We had two injuries to the head and three to the abdomen that we're dealing with. And two of those patients are in serious condition, one of them to the head."
The gunman and a young female student were killed in Wednesday's tragedy at Dawson College, while about 20 people in all were injured.
Several published reports identified the gunman as Kimveer Gill, 25, of Laval, near Montreal. Police would not confirm his identity.
An online image gallery on Gill's blog contains more than 50 photos depicting the young man in various poses holding a Baretta CX4 Storm semi-automatic rifle and donning a long black trenchcoat and combat boots.
