FROM A LAW PROFESSOR'S EMAIL LIST comes this word that the Grundy shooter was stopped by a student with a handgun:
Students ended the rampage by confronting and then tackling the gunman, officials said.
�We saw the shooter, stopped at my vehicle and got out my handgun and started to approach Peter,� Tracy Bridges, who helped subdue the shooter with other students, said Thursday on NBC�s �Today� show. �At that time, Peter threw up his hands and threw his weapon down. Ted was the first person to have contact with Peter, and Peter hit him one time in the face, so there was a little bit of a struggle there.�
Very interesting. Believe it or not, some law professors on the list are actually suggesting that it would be a good idea if people with handgun carry licenses carried guns at school.
Where some of my colleagues are concerned, I'd find that very comforting. With others, well. . . .

Unfortunately the news article on MSNBC was pulled so I cannot put more information up, and wikipedia is protesting SOPA and IPA so that avenue isn't available... but I did find this: http://www.thepriceofliberty.org/04/01/13/lang.htm
with this kicker in the article:...
"Goldberg relates that, “The bloody incident happened on January 16, 2002, and was picked up by news organizations all over the country, almost all of which covered the story the way the Washington Post and the networks did. Which means virtually all of them left out one tiny, little fact. Two of the three students who ‘pounced on’ and ‘tackled’ and ‘overpowered’ the gunman, also had guns.” Clearly, Mr. Goldberg was being sarcastic, and justifiably so. "...
