The British Government has announced plans to outlaw almost all handguns following the shocking massacre at Dunblane in Scotland.
On 13 March Thomas Hamilton walked into the gym at Dunblane primary school and killed 16 young children and their teacher. He also injured 13 other children and three teachers. Hamilton, a former scout master, then shot himself.
Today's announcement follows publication of Lord Cullen's inquiry into the massacre which concluded Hamilton's horrific attack could not have been predicted.
But it made 23 recommendations to tighten rules on gun ownership and monitor those who work with children.
The proposal to ban all handguns - except .22-caliber target pistols - would leave Britain with some of the toughest laws on private possession of guns.
A tragic stadium crush occurred during a football match at Estadio Mateo Flores in Guatemala City, resulting in the deaths of 84 people and injuries to 180 others.
The catastrophe was caused by severe overcrowding, with 47,000 fans attempting to enter a stadium with a 36,000-person capacity, leading to a fatal human stampede.
