Yesterday there was some news coverage of the 2002 incident at a Virginia law school in which a shooter was stopped by three or four students, at least two of whom had retrieved handguns from their vehicles in the parking lot.

The perp surrendured to them once he realized they were armed, but unfortunately he’d already killed two or three people.

When the dude went nuts in Austin, TX, and started shooting people from the bell tower at the U of T (with a Springfield bolt-action rifle, IIRC) the first response was from a couple of students who got their .22's out of their pickups and kept him pinned down until the cops got there.

That was back in the early 60's, mind you, when Austin and UT were still populated by real Texans.
