A United Kingdom teacher hasn’t been killed on duty since 1996, when a 43-year-old man shot and killed 16 children, one adult and then took his own life in a Dunblane, Scotland school, according to a CNN report. Tennis professional Andy Murray was an eight-year-old student in Dunblane at the time of the incident, according to CNN.
