Description: "05/09/1984: A man armed with a shotgun opened fire in a shopping district, wounding a pedestrian and a motorist. He then took refuge in his parents' home nearby, firing on police. After a daylong siege he surrendered. The man was apparently upset by the rampage of a Canadian Forces technician in the Quebec legislature the day before."
