History:
Marc Lépine was born on October 26th, 1964, Montreal, Canada. He died on December 6th of 1989. This man even now, has been considered the deadly criminal ever in Canada, in regards to his sinister crime known today as the 'Montreal Massacre'.
The horrendous event began on December 6th, 1989. The same date as his death, one could probably predict his final outcome.
The Crime: How?
During a school day at École Polytechnique, the University of Montreal, an educational institution at the time with over 6,000+ enrolled students - the school itself was focused on engineering, clearly a place for the brightest. But that was about to be interrupted by Marc, as he entered the building wielding a large hunting knife and armed with a Ruger Mini-14 semi-automatic carbine. He killed fourteen women, all of which separated from the males of the school before he cried out,
"I hate women." and then later shot himself, leaving a suicide note as well.
Conclusion: Why?
Marc was described as a very shy, quiet man who was usually in an foul mood when around women, even commanding of them. Reports describe the killers father as a brutally abusive man; he was not known to have any sort of real love life.
Many do not know the entire reasoning for his heinous crime, however, it was clear the attack was targeted towards women.
