Summary

In this haunting episode of I Could Murder A Podcast, we dive into one of the most devastating and unforgettable tragedies in modern British history – the Dunblane Massacre. On March 13, 1996, a small Scottish town was forever changed when a gunman opened fire inside a primary school, killing 16 children and a teacher. We explore the shocking details of that fateful day, the aftermath that shocked the world, and the enduring impact the massacre has had on gun control laws in the UK. With gripping storytelling and thoughtful reflection, we discuss the untold aspects of the case, the survivors' journey, and how this tragedy reshaped an entire nation. Tune in for a somber, yet powerful conversation that will leave you questioning how such evil can exist in the most unexpected places.
