UPDATE, THU, 9:00 AM: The gunman who opened fire on Montreal college students had a Web site on which he said his favorite Internet game was about the Columbine shootings.
On another Web page, he wrote, "You will come to know him as the Angel of Death."
One person was killed and 19 wounded before the shooter was killed by police. Six victims remain in critical condition.
A police official identifies the gunman as 25-year-old Kimveer Gill, from a town near Montreal.
In postings on a Web site (VampireFreaks.com) blogs in his name include more than 50 photos of him holding a rifle and wearing a long black trench coat and combat boots.
One photo has a tombstone with his name printed on it, and the words "lived fast - died young - left a mangled corpse."
He wrote on one Web site the he had "an obsession with guns." And a caption on one photo said, "Anger and hatred simmers within me."
Previously: A gunman opens fire at a college in downtown Montreal, Canada.
Police say the man, in a black trench coat and mohawk, killed a young woman and wounded others before police shot and killed the gunman.The shooting happened in the cafeteria of Dawson College, located in the heart of Montreal.
Dramatic video caught from the air shows students and faculty running for their lives - some with bloody clothes.
One witness says, "The guy came from the entrance and he started shooting people, and we jumped on the floor."
A witness in the cafeteria says, nothing appeared wrong when the shooter first walked-in. "He said he looked extremely calm, very at ease, didn't look nervous. Nothing seemed amiss - until he pulled out his gun."
But moments later, he was shooting, sending students diving for cover and running for safety.
"The nature of the injuries are all gunshot wounds to the abdomen, to the chest, one head injury, and also several to the limbs."
Police have not identified the gunman or commented on a possible motive.
There have been even bloodier shootings at colleges in Montreal. A gunman opened fire at a polytechnic school in 1989, killing 14 women. And in 1992 a Concordia University professor shot and killed four colleagues.
