And this story wouldn’t be complete without Piers Morgan using it to call for more gun control:
That's the 31st school shooting in America since Newtown 13 months ago. And still no new gun control laws. What will it take? 100?

Zero school shootings in UK since 1996. 31 in America since Newtown…. GUN CONTROL WORKS.
