MONTREAL - A 25-year-old man who mounted a deadly shooting rampage at a Montreal college had posted pictures of himself on the Internet with a rifle and said he was feeling "crazy" and "postal" and was drinking whiskey hours before the attack.
He also said on a blog that he liked to play a role-playing Internet game about the Columbine High School shootings in Colorado and wanted to die "in a hail of gunfire."
Those words almost proved prophetic, as the attacker - dressed in a black trench coat like the Columbine shooters - died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head during a shootout with police after he killed an 18-year-old woman and wounded 19 other people at Dawson College on Wednesday, police said.
