Given that some of your answers have a UK flavor to them, I'm guessing
the answer is the Dunblane Massacre.

Here's a Guardian overview of the Mar, 1996 tragedy:

And, a Wikipedia (free web-based encyclopedia)
http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Dunblane+Massacre

This sure seems to be one of the most major news stories from that
year.  Hope this helps!

Could you give us a few examples of typical clues and answers from
other years, so that we can get a feel for what the quiz is like?

Could this be a reference to the creation of a DMZ (demilitarized zone) in Korea?

You have conflicting information postes. Is it 1966, or 1996?
