Gérard Burgon

Gérard Burgon was a 29-year-old educator who tragically lost his life in a violent incident at the collège d’enseignement secondaire de Saint-Marcel in February 1978, when he was shot by a 15-year-old student. This distressing event, initially treated as a mere news item, has since been revisited in discussions about school violence and its social implications, particularly in light of more recent tragedies in educational settings.
