Maybe it was already posted here, couldn't find anything though.
What do you think? Looks like another one who was "activated" by HAARP.

He wore black, had a mohawk haircut and big boots, and carried a gun. The rest is now a bloody piece of Montreal history.
For the third time since 1989, another rampage by a lone gunman on a Montreal campus has left a grisly trail of victims in the halls of academe.
This time the toll was high. By nightfall yesterday, one young woman was dead - 18-year-old Anastasia DeSouza, of Montreal. Twenty more people, a mix of men and women, were wounded and more than a dozen were in hospitals, half in critical condition.
The suspect - a 25-year-old Quebec man whose name and identity are not yet known - was also dead, shot by Montreal police.
The attack paralysed traffic and business in a part of downtown, shut down métro service, clogged cell phone networks and catapulted Montreal into the top stories covered internationally by CNN, the BBC and Google News.
But more than that, the shootings left a city and a nation wondering:
Why again in Montreal?
In Ottawa, Prime Minister Stephen Harper called the actions of the gunman a "cowardly and senseless act."
In Quebec City, Premier Jean Charest said he is "deeply saddened for the victims, the families, the parents."
And in Montreal, Mayor Gérald Tremblay said he was "profoundly shocked and deeply saddened (by) the tragic events."
It all began around lunchtime at Dawson College, Quebec's largest cégep. Home to 7,500 students, it's housed in a converted, century-old Catholic mother house that takes up an entire city block on the western edge of downtown, near the old Forum.
At 12:30 p.m., near the campus's southwest entrance, a tall, Goth-looking man, his hair cut Mohawk-style and his coat long and black, got out of his black Pontiac Sunbird and opened the trunk. An ordinary gesture, except that this man took a gun out and held it in the air.
Students walking by didn't believe what they were seeing.
"We didn't know if it was real or just a toy," Marco Zampino, who was there with three of his friends, told CBC Radio. Other students also saw the man. Some ran to the college to alert security, who called police.
But the gunman wasn't stopped in time.
Zachary Mofford was sitting on a bench on de Maisonneuve Blvd. when the gunman approached the southwest entrance around 12:40 p.m. and started firing, hitting at least one student.
"I jumped into the bushes," said Mofford, a first-year student. "It was like he was on a mission to kill. He didn't give a f--k what was going to happen."
Then the gunman went inside. On the second floor, he entered the cafeteria. There were about 100 students inside. They looked up, saw the man, saw his weapon. The gunman backed up and started firing away.
En masse, the students threw themselves to the floor. Three students were hit. Nikola Guidi, 17, was crouched next to one of them - his girlfriend, Lisa.
"I was right beside (her) when she was shot, Guidi said afterward, his white T-shirt stained with the blood.
Then the police showed up. Two Montreal cops ordered the gunman to drop his weapon. But he was defiant.
"Get the f--k away from here!" he screamed at them, according to Guidi.
After that, pandemonium.
Word got out in the rest of the building that there was a shooter loose. Students, teachers and staff scattered to find a way out of the building or a safe place to hide. Students frantically called each other on their cell phones, checking to see if everyone was safe, passing along first-hand accounts and rumours.
Several students were stuck in corridors, wondering where to find safety. Many were still in the line of fire.
Business student Fabio Viera was coming out of class when he was startled by a loud bang behind him.
"I turned around and saw a man in black standing there. Everyone started screaming," Viera said. "He had a big rifle in his hands."
More shots were fired, and the gunman yelled and cursed at the students, telling them to get back as he wedged inside an alcove beside a vending machine with his gun pointed out, said student Kayla Diorio. "At first he was just shooting into the air," she said.
That's when police shot him.
"Security told us to go downstairs," said Daniel Franco, a second-year student. "We waited downstairs and from there I could hear more and more shots. When we went back...there was a trail of blood on the floor that led to outside. Then I saw a rifle on the ground with ammo all over the place."
But the drama wasn't finished. Thinking the shooter might have had an accomplice, members of the Montreal police SWAT team started searching the building floor-to-floor. Students and teachers in hiding were taken safely from the building; others left on their own; some were made to wait inside for the all-clear.
From the windows in the Place Alexis Nihon complex across the street, office workers watched the whole thing. At around 1:30 p.m., about an hour after the drama began, they finally saw something that told them it was all, finally, over. They saw the shooter being dragged out of the Dawson building by police.
Sonny Chiasson, an Alexis Nihon maintenance employee saw police take the suspect out of the building, and watched the young man die.
"The police came out with the guy in handcuffs and there was a long trail of blood behind him," said Sonny Chiasson, an Alexis Nihon maintenance employee. "He was bleeding heavily from his upper chest. (Then he) fell to the ground and the police kept trying to talk to him."
Many minutes went by. "But eventually they just put a towel over his face because he was dead."
It may have been ghastly, but yesterday's drama was not unprecedented. Indeed, the setting and modus operandi were distressingly familiar to Montrealers.
They remember Dec. 6, 1989, when a troubled young man named Marc Lépine, rejected from admission to an engineering program, opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle in the cafeteria, hallways and classrooms of the école Polytechnique on the Université de Montréal campus, killing 14 women before turning the gun on himself.
They also remember Aug. 24, 1992, when Concordia University engineering associate professor Valery Fabrikant, upset that he'd been repeatedly denied tenure, went to the university's downtown campus and shot four of his colleagues to death. He's now serving a life sentence at Archambault Prison in Sainte-Anne-Des-Plaines.
Now there's a new crime to dissect. And with the suspect dead, and with no known motive, and with the investigation now in the hands of the Sureté du Québec, it will take weeks, maybe months for a full account to be pieced together of another infamous day in Montreal's history.
For now, it is the DeSouza family - the parents and relatives of the dead 18-year-old - who bear the full brunt of the day's burden.
Before they got word last night that she was dead, they went through several anxious hours of searching and waiting for news. In the end, it was the worst imaginable.
"We've been to all the hospitals, they can't tell us anything," her aunt, Natalia Hevy, said at 3 p.m. outside the Montreal General Hospital.
The family was certain they had seen Anastasia on TV, being put into an ambulance. But a GPS trace put on her cell phone by Bell Canada indicated the phone was still on the campus, and had moved three times during the afternoon.
No one answered calls to the phone, and at 9 p.m., the family still hadn't located her. "We can't find her, and we're really starting to panic," said the young woman's mother, Louise DeSousa.
Forty-five minutes later, the terrible news. Anastasia was dead.
