254 children killed in schools since Dunblane
With the tragic deaths of 16 youngsters, Dunblane remains the dreadful high watermark of school shootings, discounting the terrorist atrocity at Beslan in 2004.
The events have had a lasting effect on the close-knit community which, threatened by yet more media attention, constructed a wall of silence as the 10-year anniversary loomed. Very few locals want to talk about their memories of the massacre.
