Ambulances take the first wounded students to area hospitals. Anguished parents, awaiting word on their children, gather at nearby Leawood elementary school. In small groups, students and teachers run from the building to a holding area, where they are frisked, questioned, offered medical care, and then bused to Leawood elementary to be reunited with parents. A Sheriff's spokesman estimates as many as 25 people are dead, a combination of students and teachers. Officers searching the library find the bodies of both suspects, who apparently died of self-inflicted gunshot wounds.
All bodies remain inside.
