Not good.

Wow. Hard to imagine that one kid could do that much damage to that many kids. Sounds like everyone is going to pull through.

Would have been the right day for a student to sneak a gun into class.

Indeed. According to the stories I'm seeing, this guy was going up and down the hall, into and out of classrooms stabbing people. Sounds like a whole lot of time to put a barrel on him and make him stop.

He apparently used large kitchen knives.

I'd like to know more about this. This was literally unimaginable when I went to high school and back then most boys carried pocket knives (some fairly large) as did a fair number of girls. We were better armed and much, much less violent.
