ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero

On Tuesday a man described as a former student of a school in the southwest Russian city of Kazan walked into the building and began randomly shooting young students, killing at least 8, including seven middle school students and a teacher.
The shooting apparently went on for a lengthy amount of time given 21 others were hospitalized, according to the Associated Press, and some among the dead and wounded had jumped from a third story window while trying to escape the hail of bullets.
Police are said to now be investigating whether the 19-year old shooter had accomplices, in a massacre which is being compared to the 2004 Beslan school siege, which had left over 330 dead after a major Islamist terror attack and hostage crisis.
Governor of the provincial republic Rustam Minnikhanov confirmed later in the day that "The terrorist has been arrested, (he is) 19 years old. A firearm is registered in his name. Other accomplices haven't been established, an investigation is underway."
"We have lost seven children... four boys and three girls," Minnikhanov said according to Reuters. He also described that the killings at Kazan's School No. 175 was carried out by a registered gun owner. The eighth confirmed death was a teacher.
There's embedded video showing kids jumping out of 3rd floor windows if anyone feels the need to see that stuff.
