TENNIS pro Andy Murray was just eight years old when Thomas Hamilton walked into his school gym and opened fire on a class, killing 16 children and their teacher. His class was on their way to the gym when the sound of gunfire rang out. Murray took refuge under a desk in the headmaster’s office. The Dunblane Primary School massacre on March 13, 1996, changed Britain forever, ushering in the introduction of the strictest gun laws in the world.
1996, At Dunblane, a 13th-century village on the edge of the Scottish Highlands, 43-year-old Thomas Hamilton bursts into the gymnasium of the Dunblane Primary School with four guns and opens fire on a kindergarten class. Sixteen children and their teacher, Gwenne Mayor, were fatally shot before Hamilton turned the gun on himself.
