The killer then returned to his car and waited for police. The weirdest part of this already-weird story is that the police reported it to be a case of mistaken identity. Not sure what the name of the shooter was but perhaps it'll surface eventually.
The shooter was, I believe, a worker at the Canadian Pacific who wanted to get revenge on his supervisor who he felt was harassing him.
You'll note that the store is still named Minto, which is strange because it's two blocks west of the street of that name sacrificed by the Decarie expressway, likely started its days there.
(By the way, if you like this true Montreal crime stuff, I'm giving a speech about it with Pro Will Straw at the Blue Met Festival, April 18. ((I think that's the date).)

From the details of the article, he wasn't after his supervisor, but a CP Rail "investigator", a journalistic term utilized in lieu of the term "rail cop"...one of those fake, pseudo cops who are really corporate security guards and acting tough by calling themselves police. We don't have the "WalMart Police"...so why give CP and CN those titles? CP has cleaned up the graft and filth for the most part, but CN cops, the private army of Bill Gates, continue to extort bribes, pour water into hobo's boots in winter, use sticks to effect beatings, take bribes from the Russian mob, etc., etc. Notice how much graffiti is on CN equipment compared with CP and you can tell how "vigilant" (not) their guards are....1930s ditty from the street: "CN cops...dirty to the core...taking bribes from filthy whores".
Where will this speech, of which you speak, take place?
The shooter's name was O'Brian, I grew up below the tracks in NDG in the 1950's and knew his son who was the same age as me.
Anonymous, the event details will be announced March 20 on bluemetropolis.com. Stay tuned!
