Carey Price insists he knew about Polytechnique shooting before posting pro-gun stance

The Montreal Canadiens and goalie Carey Price have issued apologies in the wake of an Instagram post that continues to spark reaction. On Saturday, the star goalie took a stance against federal gun-control legislation and in support of a gun lobby group. Price’s post came on the eve of the 33rd anniversary of the Polytechnique shooting, one of Canada’s worst mass shootings. As Global’s Felicia Parrillo reports, both Price and the Habs are now backtracking in what has become a public relations fiasco.
