On September 13, 2006, 25-year-old Kimveer Singh Gill opened fire at Dawson College, a CEGEP located in downtown Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Gill began by shooting outside the de Maisonneuve Boulevard entrance to the school, before moving towards the atrium by the cafeteria on the main floor. One victim died at the scene, while another 19 were injured, eight of whom were listed in critical condition, with six requiring surgery. The shooter later committed suicide, after being shot in the arm by a police officer. It was the third fatal school shooting in Montreal, after the École Polytechnique massacre in 1989 and the shooting spree at Concordia University in 1992.
