Suggested response:
1. Turn the imprisoned colleagues of the terrorists over to the surviving family members of the school massacre victims.
2. Announce that, in the future, demands for release of imprisoned terrorists (or their "colleagues") by perpetrators of new terrorist acts will result in the summary execution of the imprisoned "colleagues", as well as the new perpetrators when apprehended.
