I just finished watching a programme on BBC 1 about the Dunblane tragedy 10 years ago and it was really quite ponignant. They talked about the initial intentions of Hamilton to take out the whole school and it makes you think that if he'd succeeded this website wouldn't even exist! Not only that but the way the whole event seemed to effect everyone involved, teachers, parents and kids, just highlights how important it is for the small town to be remembered for something as successful as Andy rather than something so evil.

Didn't watch it... to be honest I don't want to be reminded of the terrible tradegy. It brings a chill over me just to think of it.

Murray tells of day killer struck school

Judy said this,

"I had a shop at the time in the heart of Dunblane selling toys and children's clothes so I knew just about everyone involved, if only by sight, and someone burst in to say there was a man found dead with a gun in the playground.

"I ran out of the shop, crashed into my mum – who was coming in to tell me – got in the car and drove like the furies yelling 'Get out of my way' at every driver."

Judy recalled how she "couldn't get near the school" because of the number of parked cars and emergency services vehicles.

"I had to abandon the car and run to join the crowd of parents waiting at the front gate," she said.

"Not surprisingly, no one could tell us anything. I was standing beside a girl who had lived across the road from me as kids at the same primary school, and when the police announced which class was involved, her daughter was in that class. That was a horrible moment, just horrible."

When Andy and Jamie were delivered to her later, she said she "hugged them and bundled them" into the car. "They'd no idea what actually happened. I stopped the car and explained everything as gently as I could."

Al will not be pleased Smile

When it comes out I hope the shootings are not included Andy has been dignified and said very little on the matter and I hope he keeps it that way. To profit from this event would be unforgivable no matter how good a tennis player you are or might become.

Even if he wrote a book in fifty years he still should be allowed to include it.  Its part of his life, why should he not write about it?

Depends on how much detail he gives. If it is quite detailed then he would have lied to the press all this time about not remembering anything.

Does that matter?  He probably just said that because he didn't want to talk about it and now he feels ok to talk about it.

It's the lying I have a problem with him, why on earth woudn't he just say "I don't feel comfortable talking about it"? Everyone would understand. The problem with this is some people will accuse him of lying just so he could wait to put it in a book and essentially profit from it.

This is all hypothetical anyway, he may have very little new information to give.
