45. Knives are quiet, more portable and easier to get.
It took her two or three years to kill thirty people and she decided to turn herself in. She could have killed a lot more. You're correct in that a mass shooting would be more efficient, but gunning down groups of people will get you busted right quick if you don't shoot yourself in the process.
