I remember first hearing about the Hungerford massacre on the way back home from Huntly, near Aberdeen, after buying my first dog.
I think there's been one or two massacre's since Dunblane & Hungerford. Remember that fella from Cumbria who killed a number of people in the late 90's? I think he knew everyone he murdered though. Either they ripped him off or bullied him I believe. Then about ten years ago, Raoul Moat popped off a few didn't he?
