84 school children shoot dead in Pakistan

At least 100 people have been killed, including 84 children, after Taliban gunmen stormed a military school in the north-western Pakistani city of Peshawar, in one of the worst ever militant attacks to hit the troubled region.

The attack started with the gunmen entering the 500-pupil school – which has students in grades 1-10, thought to be ages 5 to 14 – in the early hours and shooting at random, going from classroom to classroom.

Army commandos quickly arrived at the scene and exchanged fire with the gunmen.
