Canadian murderer

Marc Lepine
Marc Lepine was a canadian man who went on december 6th 1989 to the École Polytechnique at the University of Montreal with a semi-automatic rifle and he killed 14 women, hurt 10 women and 4 men.
Marc Lepine was a strong anti-feminist and on the 6th he went into the school with the only goal to kill as many women as he can, he had a small rifle with a lot of ammunation (in the magazine and extra), he went into the building waited till after 5pm, stood up, got out his rifle and went into the first classroom, told them that he hates feminists,with that phrase he started going through the school killing women and after killing his last victim Maryse Leclair by shooting her and then stabbing her to death he shot himself, because he heard the police coming in. 
Marc Lepine killed those women, because he was a strong anti-feminist and he thought it would be better to kill as much of them as he could, that was his reason which he told in a letter, feminists has ruined his life, he was depressed and frustrated and he wanted to relief his anger on the feminists.

According to the theories of Levin and Fox, Marc lepines mass murder was motivated by vengeance, his revenge was specified on a group (feminists). 
Also one of kellehers theories, politics and hate, explains the act of Marc lepine.
He was ideologically motivated and he showed that in an act of terrorism.

I think we can and have learned a lot about mass murders and I helped us a lot to understand why they are doing what they're doing, but it's still hard to prevent a mass murder from happening.
Most mass murders are done by people who grew up in a bad environment and they are calm until the  day they 'explode', so it's hard to say how's going to commit a mass murder.
