			St. Valentine's Day Massacre 1929.
 In this famous 1929 mass shooting, the Capone gang tried to wipe out the Moran Gang and shot 7 men in a garage, all lined up against a wall  and offering no resistance.
 
 Two professional killers using Thompson .45 caliber submachine guns fired  100 rounds into the seven stationary victims, sweeping their guns back and forth   Notwithstanding this hail of automatic weapons fire, one victim survived 14 gunshot wounds and was transported to a hospital where he regained consciousness and was questioned by the police only to expire later in the day.
 
 Bottom line:  It is not easy to achieve a 100 % fatality rate in mass shootings, notwithstanding multiple hits  from two professional shooters using machine guns.
 
 Separate and apart from achieving a 100% fatality rate at Sandy Hook, all of the eye witnesses appear to have been eliminated as well.  How convenient.
 
 How amazing that a reclusive, psychologically disturbed 20  year old was single handedly  able to achieve a feat unmatched by two professional killers using superior weapons and assisted by accomplices  on a smaller number of  victims.   It must have been the video games.
