Dunblane 10 years on
12 03 2006Sitting here tonight watching Sky News, I’ve just realised that tomorrow is the 10th anniversary of the Dunblane Massacre.
On the 13th of March 1996, unemployed former shopkeeper Thomas Hamilton walked in to the local primary school and killed 16 students and one of their teachers. I don’t remember why it was the case, but, I was in the Europa Hotel in Drogheda that day as opposed to being in school, watching the breaking news on Sky News. I remember being shocked by it, as I was still in school, and it was the first major shooting of that type that I had ever seen broadcast live on television in a way we have now unfortuanately become used to.
Anyway, at some stage tomorrow, just leave over a minute to think about the poor kids who lost their lives that fateful day 10 years ago.
