‘Total blackness:’ Remembering Alberta school shooting 20 years later
TABER, Alta. — It was a snowy, spring day on April 28, 1999, when an angry teenager walked through the doors of W.R. Myers High School.
Wearing a blue trench coat, the 14-year-old pulled out a sawed off .22-calibre rifle and fired four shots in the hallway of the public school in Taber, a small agricultural community in the heart of Alberta’s southern Bible Belt.
One bullet struck Jason Lang, a 17-year-old Grade 11 student.
