Hi everyone, I'm on a break right now, but there have been some updates to cases I've covered,

0:08.6

so I wanted to give you a little something out of the ordinary while I'm taking a little

0:12.6

vacation with my family. We leave tomorrow, and I am planning on catching up on Netflix

0:18.3

and generally just attempting to give my mind a rest.

0:21.8

We shall see how that goes.

0:24.2

There are some spoilers in these cases, or at least the ones I'm covering.

1:21.6

Okay, so the first case I'm going to be covering is the Ecole Polytechnic Massacre from Montreal, Quebec.

1:31.3

This is the story of the gunmen who shot and killed 14 women, most of whom were engineering students.

1:38.3

The gunman died by suicide at the end of the massacre, so there's no real update there. But gun control continues to

1:46.0

be a big issue here in Canada. At the end of 2017, a pro-gun lobby group planned a demonstration

1:52.8

at the site of the Montreal Memorial, saying that gun control wasn't the answer, and the money
