Noel Terrell
Noel Terrell is a Canadian, from Burlington, Ontario.[1]
In February 1990, when Terrel was 17 years old, he brought a 7mm handgun registered to his parents to his high school, General Brock High School, in Burlington, Ontario.[2][3] After leaving a bitter note in his ex-girlfriend's locker, he shot her, and three other people, in one of the first school shooting incidents in Canada.[4] The other targets were her current boyfriend, a friend of hers, and a teacher. One of his targets died, but his ex-girlfriend survived.[5]
Later, on January 9, 2015, Terrell set fire to the Kingston, Ontario townhouse where he was living with his fiance.[1] He received a four and a half year sentence for arson. The Kingston Whig-Standard described him as a "42-year-old man with a long history of reacting disproportionately to disappointments in his love life." In addition to his sentence the judge imposed a lifetime ban on Terrell owning weapons, or explosives.
