place a bomb in a school, it is the act of a coward

[BuaBS]

Teenage gangs with (small) bombs ? Things are getting serious here.

[MockingJay]

What a cowardly crime! Sure the culprits in this incident must be very proud of themselves. Hopefully they will be cought and receive ample punishment.

Quick and thorough recovery to the little girl.

I hope Karma comes to the perpetrators sooner rather than later.
