Tennis star says a survivor’s record was like his own involvement with the 1996 Dunblane slaughter

“My inclination is that unquestionably at some stage you accomplish something other than what’s expected. You can’t continue moving toward the issue by purchasing more firearms and having more weapons in the country. I don’t have the foggiest idea how that settles it.
“Yet, I could be off-base. We should perhaps have a go at something other than what’s expected and check whether you come by an alternate result.”
Murray experienced childhood in Dunblane and was an understudy at the town’s elementary school when a shooter killed 16 students and an educator prior to committing suicide. It is the deadliest mass shooting in Britain’s advanced history.
“I heard something on the radio a day or two ago and it was a kid from that school,” Murray told the BBC. “I encountered something comparative when I was at Dunblane, an educator emerging and waving every one of the youngsters under tables and advising them to proceed to stow away.
“What’s more, it was a youngster recounting how she endure it.
“They were saying that they go through these drills, as small kids … How? How can that typical that youngsters ought to be need to go through drills, on the off chance that somebody comes into a school with a firearm?”
