Need help finding information about the guy who blew up a school in the 1930's

I'm writing a paper on gun issues for my English class. I need to cite pretty much everything I talk about.

Somewhere on TFL somebody shared a news article about a school administrator who blew up his school with dynamite, I think it was in the 1920's or 30's.

I tried to find it with the search, but didn't have much luck. If whoever posted it still has it, please refer me to the right place.

Thanks
 
Here is a start:

[NEW YORK TIMES: "It was the largest death toll in an act of
terrorism at one of the nation's schools."

REUTERS: "The country's worst school massacre, in Littleton,
Colo."

UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL: "The worst school massacre
in U.S. history."]


On May 18, 1927, 45 people were killed, including 38 elementary
students, by a series of dynamite explosions at the Bath Michigan
School.

After detonating explosives he planted under the school, "maniac
bomber" Andrew Kehoe, a school board member and treasurer and
farmer, blew up his pickup truck, killing himself and the Bath School
superintendent.

"I don't remember hearing any noise, but I remember flying in the
air and seeing things fly between me and the sun," remembers
AdaBelle McGonigal, then 11 and in the fifth grade. "But I don't
ever remember falling."

AdaBelle's ear was nearly torn off in the blast that killed 38 of her
classmates. Seven adults also died that day.
