Largely forgotten in the American press, the 14th anniversary of the Montreal massacre of 14 women at École Polytechnique was observed on Saturday in Canada. Here, as recounted by CBC News, is what occured on that horrible day:

On Dec. 6, 1989, Marc Lepine, 25, walked into the engineering school with a semi-automatic rifle and, according to witnesses, shouted “I want the women. I hate feminists. You’re all a bunch of feminists!” He separated the men from the women and opened fire on female engineering students. His shooting spree covered three floors and several classrooms. In total, Lepine shot 27 people, 13 of whom survived. He then shot himself.
