Gun beats knife. Well, duh! Too bad five students had to be hurt before the stabber was stopped.

And please do not write about gun-free zones and getting stabbed is better than shot - that argument is old and frankly, weird, as if people are OK getting hurt in any form other than a gun. In reality, students here are just lucky this person did not have a gun.
