    Happily??

    I think it's great that in the few examples provided killers were prevented from taking more innocent lives. However, any life taken is a loss. I think it was wrong for you to say "Happily, he was only able to kill two people." It's great that no more were killed, but I don't think it's right to say "happily." I'm sure the families of those to victims weren't looking at the situation in a "happily" kind of way.
