Chris Cobb: In 1975, Ottawa suffered one of Canada’s first school shootings. There was no playbook for how to respond

It was Monday, Oct. 27, 1975 when Ottawa student Robert Poulin walked into a religion class packed with his fellow students and sprayed bullets before killing himself in the hall outside.

One of his victims died and several other students in a packed religion class at St. Pius X High School were shot by a deeply troubled classmate who had raped and murdered Glebe Collegiate student Kim Rabot in the basement of his home earlier that day.
