2002: Appalachian Law School shooting was stopped by people who legally owned guns -- but THEY had to run to their cars to retrieve them. A shooting at a high school dance in Edinboro, PA could have been much worse, but was stopped by a teacher whose shotgun was in his car parked off school property -- he'd been hunting that day -- who retrieved his shotgun and stopped the shooting. I recall hearing similar incidents in other situations.
It is heartbreaking to hear about all these kids killed because *nobody* could help stop the problem. What a terrible way to die. What a terrible thing for their families, thinking about how their children suffered such fear and utter helplessness before being killed.
