On Dec. 6, 1989, Marc Lépine burst into a classroom at Montreal's École Polytechnique, ordered the men outside and opened fire on the women left behind.
Thirteen engineering students and one employee were killed before the attacker turned the gun on himself. Police later found an anti-feminist manifesto and a hit list on the man's body.
The massacre became a lightning rod for the movement to eradicate violence against women, and catalyzed the gun control lobby in Canada.
