ProMASS News Bureau: Jan 23, 2016:
Four persons were killed in a school shooting in Saskatchewan, in Canada’s worst school violence in years. A suspect has been apprehended, police said. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau described the incident as every parent’s worst nightmare. He was in Davos, Switzerland, for the annual World Economic Forum.
Mass shootings are rare in Canada, which has stricter gun laws than the United States. In the country’s worst school shooting, 14 college students were killed at Montreal’s Ecole Polytechnique in 1989. A shooting in 1992 at Concordia University in Montreal killed four. The latest shooting occurred in the high school, called the Dene Building, and another location in Saskatchewan, Trudeau and Canadian police said.
