Taliban gunmen stormed a military-run school in
the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar on Tuesday, killing 20
students and one soldier, officials said, in the highest-profile
militant attack to hit the troubled region in months. The attack began in the morning hours, with the gunmen entering the
school ? which has students in grades 1-10 ? and shooting at random,
said police officer Javed Khan. Army commandos quickly arrived at the
scene and exchanged fire with the gunmen, he said.
Outside the school, shooting was initially heard along with one loud
bang of unknown origin. Details were sketchy in the unfolding situation
and it was unclear what was going on inside and if there were any
hostages among the students. Pakistani television showed soldiers surrounding the area and pushing people back.
This is very sad, 84 children were killed that day. There's a 1 in 50 chance that it was someones birthday or anything. I feel that if that was a military run- school that they should've been more prepared for pop-up situations like that. It wasn't fair that 84 (more or less) parents had to receive news that their child died unexpectedly. I feel sorry for these parents.
