December 6, 1989 remains a fateful sad day for the victims and people affected by the massacre of 14 female students at Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, Canada. Marc Lepine was the mastermind of the attack; he walked right into the classroom with his firearm and a hunting knife. Students in the room had limited time to make sense of Lepine’s mission. Prior to the crime, Lepine bought the firearm and told the shopkeeper that he intended to go for a small game (Bindel, 2012). Indeed, the attack was planned and the 25-year-old Lepine targeted women.

He later killed himself
