No.
Why?
Because unless it is in NYC, Mass, or some other place with strict gun-control laws, the perp would get killed.
32 deaths and 25 wounded, while not the exact same level, is still pretty damned high. Was in Virginia, with loose enough gun-control laws to allow a person, legally declared by a judge to be mentally unstable, to purchase a gun. He killed himself, he was not stopped by someone else.
