Well, good thing he didn't have a gun.  Somebody might have been hurt.

No word on how many people were in the "group" that attacked the train station, but 27 dead and 160 injured is a bit alarming.   :O

Did it occur to anyone else that they killed about the same number as there are rounds in a high-capacity magazine assault clip?
