It was either highest ever in a school or highest ever for any USA shooting. Apparantly the highest body count in a shooting in USA before this was 17 and the highest body count in Australia is 59? I didn't get this info from Wikipedia some kid on my IT course told me, I don;t really trust him but he just boasts with such confidence people generally believe anything he says.

Some other kid was bragging about he could have done 'better'.

Also, I know of one school shooting in Ireland when a girl decided she didn't like mondays, walked into school and gunned a bunch of people down with an uzi.

Wikipedia wrote:This incident is the deadliest shooting on a college campus, exceeding the 16 deaths of the University of Texas shooting by Charles Whitman in 1966. It is the second deadliest school-related killing in U.S. history, behind the 1927 Bath School disaster which claimed 45 lives, including 38 school children, through the use of explosives. This incident also occurred during the same week as the eighth anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre in which 12 students and one teacher were killed, the twelfth anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, and the anniversaries of other notable terrorist acts across the country.

With a death toll of 32 victims plus the killer, this is the deadliest single-perpetrator shooting in United States history, surpassing the Luby's massacre of 1991, in which 24 people were killed. Internationally, it is surpassed by the 1982 massacre in South Korea of 57 innocent people by off-duty police officer Woo Bum-kon and the 1996 Port Arthur massacre in the Australian state of Tasmania where 35 people were killed by gunman Martin Bryant.

The shooting has been likened to the Columbine High School massacre, the 1999 school massacre in which two students killed 12 students, one teacher, and wounded 24 others before turning the guns on themselves. In the media package sent to NBC, Cho discussed "martyrs like Eric and Dylan" apparently referring to the Columbine High School gunmen. This massacre occurred four days before the eight-year anniversary of the Columbine shooting.

Did you know that there is only one film made by Yemenites?

A few films have been shot in Yemen though.

They did not recover since Yemen has lousy medical care.
