Ok, 'point of order', but I thought it was stupid that the author called the deaths of 2 children, and the wounding of 4 others a massacre. A grisly, brutal murder, no doubt, but it gives the word massacre less meaning when you apply it to just 6 people.

I didn't read it quite that way. I read it along the lines of wanton/indiscriminate killing/slaughter of people. Not necessarily the killing of a large number of people. If the author meant it the other way then I agree with you.
