(On Screen): Don't ever underestimate the courage of Australians:
A man armed with a number of handguns opened fire indiscriminately on a room of students at Monash University's Clayton campus today, killing two and injuring five people.

The man, aged in his mid-30s, was tackled by several people after opening fire in a classroom at the Menzies Building, part of the campus in outer south-eastern Melbourne, at about 11.20am.


They didn't dive for cover. They dived for the gunman.

Here was my first thought: what will the gun controllers say now? That they need stronger gun laws?

Update: For those who didn't understand the question, guns are banned in Australia.
