In a recent interview with BBC, the 2-time Wimbledon champion opened up about the famous Dunblane school massacre incident. Coincidentally, Murray was also in that school, as he said, “I heard something on the radio the other day and it was a child from that school, you know, and I experienced a similar thing when I was at Dunblane and a teacher like, coming out and waving all of the children, like under tables and telling them to go and hide.

Murray even questioned the necessity of such training for children at a young age, as he said, “They were saying that they go through these drills, as young children, as seven-, eight-year-old children. How? How is that normal that children should be having to go through drills, like in case someone comes into a school with a gun? I don’t get it – just, yeah, it’s really, really upsetting and I hope they make some changes.”
