Kimveer Singh Gill (July 9th, 1981 – September 13th, 2006) was the perpetrator of the Dawson College shooting at Dawson College in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on September 13, 2006. Gill killed one student and wounded nineteen others before committing suicide. Prior to the shooting he had a fascination with 9/11 conspiracy theories, the Iraq War, and the Columbine High School massacre.
Kimveer Gill was a 25-year-old Canadian born in Lachine, Quebec on July 9th, 1981. His parents were of Punjabi descent, and moved to Saint-Laurent from India in early 1981. The family later settled in the Fabreville area of Laval in 1987.
Gill attended Twin Oaks Elementary School in Laval from 1988 to 1993. He later attended Rosemere High School, where he was remembered by teachers as quiet and unassuming. Despite early media reports, he performed well academically, and most students remember him as having friends and certainly never being bullied. Gill graduated from Rosemere High School in June 1998.
Gill briefly received military training from the Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu from January 17th to February 16th, 1999. He had told his friends he wished to eventually become a mercenary. Gill did not complete his basic training; for unknown reasons he was deemed unsuitable for military service and was voluntarily discharged before receiving weapons training. Gill was a member of a rifle club and visited the Ville Saint-Pierre facility the day prior to the Dawson College shooting.
In extensive interviews with friends, family, teachers, and former colleagues, Gill was described as a quiet, nice, sensitive, generous person as well as "the nicest, gentlest person" with "a heart of gold." His friends say that Gill had a fascination with 9/11 conspiracy theories, the war in Iraq, and the 1999 Columbine High School massacre. He liked Jack Daniel's whiskey and was a user of ecstasy. In the last few months of his life, he ceased contact with his friends and parents, and seemed more depressed than ever.

10:41 am: After drinking some Whiskey, Kimveer makes one final journal entry to his VampireFreaks page that read "Whiskey in the morning, mmmmmm, mmmmmmmmm, good !! :) P.S. When i call people "niggah's" in my journals......it doesn't have anything to do with their skin color. I call white people niggahs too, it's just fun. It's all dave chappelle's fault, ever since i started watching the chappelle show, i can't stop calling people niggahs :(". He had also described his mood as "No mood :(", and listened to one last song "Megadeth - A Tout le Monde".
It is not known exactly what Kimveer did between 10:42 am - 12:39 pm, but we do know that sometime between this time period Kimveer had loaded all his weapons into the trunk of his car.
12:40 p.m: Kimveer arrives at Dawson college, and parks his Black Pontiac Sunfire next to Dawson Daycare, and begins to gear up.
12:41 p.m: A group of boys passes by Kimveers car and one of the boys notices Kimveer taking a gun out of the trunk of his car. Thinking it was a theatre prop, the boy keeps walking with the group, but eventually looks back and sees Kimveer staring directly down the CX4's sights directly at the boy. Still thinking the CX4 was some sort of prop, the boy keeps walking and shrugs it off.
12:41 p.m: Kimveer starts to walk towards Dawson College, and suddenly takes a passerby hostage, forcing him at gunpoint to carry a bag containing a Shotgun, 4 knives, and 50 rounds of Buckshot.
