On Dec. 6, 1989, a gunman entered École Polytechnique in Montreal and killed 14 women, most of whom were engineering students. He injured 10 other women and four men before taking his own life. Ten years after what was once Canada’s deadliest mass shooting, The Fifth Estate co-host Francine Pelletier revealed details in a documentary about the gunman’s background and what drove his hate for women.
Pelletier, who was a columnist at La Presse at the time of the attack, learned her name was on a list of notable Quebec women whom the gunman wanted to kill had he not run out of time.
The names of the 14 women who lost their lives that day are Geneviève Bergeron, Hélène Colgan, Nathalie Croteau, Barbara Daigneault, Anne-Marie Edward, Maud Haviernick, Barbara Klucznik-Widajewicz, Maryse Laganière, Maryse Leclair, Anne-Marie Lemay, Sonia Pelletier, Michèle Richard, Annie St-Arneault and Annie Turcotte.
The Fifth Estate is marking its 50th year of investigative journalism. Watch the documentary “Legacy of Pain” and more from the show’s files on YouTube.
