12. École Polytechnique Massacre

Deaths: 14

The École Polytechnique massacre took place in Montreal, Canada on December 6, 1989. Marc Lépine, a 25-year-old with strong anti-feminist views, entered a classroom at the engineering school affiliated with the Université de Montréal, where he separated men from women and shot all nine women in the room, killing six. He then moved through the school, targeting only women, killing 14 women in total, injuring 10 more, as well as four men. Lépine said in his suicide note that feminists ruined his life. The anniversary of the massacre is commemorated in Canada as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. The attack also led to tighter gun control laws in Canada.
