Montrealers will commemorate the 10th anniversary Tuesday of the shooting at a junior college when a man murdered a young woman and wounded 16 other people.
Kimveer Gill, 25, used a semi-automatic rifle to shoot 72 rounds in and near Dawson College in downtown Montreal on Sept. 13, 2006.
He shot six students outside the school’s main doors before entering the cafeteria and killing 18-year-old Anastasia De Sousa.
Gill was eventually hit by a police bullet before killing himself with one of his own weapons.
Anastasia’s mother says she never stops thinking of her daughter, who would now be 28.
Louise Hevey De Sousa says her life changed forever that day and that the family is still suffering.
