((There was relief for the parents of some Dunblane primary school
students. Their children were safe. Others received the worst
news a parent can ever hear: that their child had been killed.
For those students able to walk away there was fear and
confusion.
Concerned townspeople raced to Dunblane primary school as soon
as word of the shootings became known. Shortly after 9:30 this morning -- 4:30
eastern time -- 43-year-
old Thomas Hamilton, a loner from a nearby town, entered the
school's gymnasium, carrying four handguns -- and reportedly
attempted to take his own son hostage. A few minutes later,
Hamilton opened fire on the four, five and six year olds inside.
In addition to those killed, as many as 17 children were injured
-- some critically. After the massacre, Hamilton turned the gun
on himself.
Dunblane, near the Scottish Highlands, is described as the kind
