As fire fighters arrived at the farm, an explosion devastated the north wing of the school building, killing many schoolchildren. As rescuers started gathering at the school, Kehoe drove up, stopped, and detonated a bomb inside his vehicle with his Winchester rifle, killing himself and the school superintendent, and killing and injuring several others. During rescue efforts searchers discovered an additional 500 pounds (230 kg) of unexploded dynamite and pyrotol planted throughout the basement of the school's south wing. Kehoe apparently had intended to blow up and destroy the whole school. Most of the victims were children in the second to sixth grades (7–11 years of age) attending the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_Consolidated_School']Bath Consolidated School[/URL]. Their deaths constitute the deadliest mass murder in a school in U.S. history.
