I'm sure we'll hear more over the week.
We know that some did fight back.

The whole thing is gut wrenching and depressing. Completely destroyed my day to catch the news as this happened. Has me rethinking a lot, too.
I started digging through Wikipedia on school violence and found this interesting bit of history I'd never heard of, before:
Forty-five people killed in bombings at a school, most of the victims in grades second through sixth, by a man upset that taxes had been levied in order to fund its construction. He even loaded a car with every conceivable piece of jagged scrap metal he could find before parking it in front of the school and detonating the bomb inside. The year?
Not as recent as you might think.
