[edit] Background information and notes
- Jesse L. Martin joins the cast as Detective Ed Green.
- This episode was probably based on the shooting at the University of Montreal's Ecole Polytechnic campus. The shooter in that case was Mark Lepine, who shot 14 female engineering students because he blamed them for his inability to get in to the college.
