the attack hoping he would see his sister evacuated to safety and bring her home she was too late. the doors of the room where my sister was together with her classmates weren't locked so the attacker broke into the room and shot the students her name was and mine is old fart that's because our parents wanted our names to sound similar she studied in a forum which she was 15 when she was a very resolute girl she had big plans for the future to finish the 9th form and get an education and i team. knows on the day school staff did all they could to protect the pupils risking and some losing their own lives in the process he would be the only one asking questions though could more have been done to prevent this tragedy. and how could it be stopped from happening again by the morning we should probably strengthen the school security as now we have mainly elder people working
1:24 am
there also we should organize drills like the ones for fire safety and explain to children where they should go and hide of such tragedies happen to the bloodbath in school 175 how to clear a villain but also some on likely heroes the son of the local imaam escaped the killer who broke right into his classroom only to run back into danger to rescue his injured younger brother who thankfully survived despite being badly hurt. after we were taken out of the school to safety i went to search for my classmates the ones who managed to survive when i found them i went to search for my younger brother when i failed to find him i searched for his class teacher and then together we put my brother in an ambulance and the teacher sent me with him to there were 4 people with me in the ambulance one was my classmate who jumped out of the window on the 3rd floor to escape that nightmare the other was my brother who

had his chest injured also there was a boy with his lip badly hurt by a glass fragment and one girl was sitting there with her hand almost torn apart. everyone i spoke to had one question why how was such a cold merciless cruelty possible towards anyone let alone children. was confident but good prevails over evil and that khazan will emerge from the nightmare stronger . this tragedy has united everyone regardless of their ethnic origin or religious belief people from other cities are coming to mourn with us we must stand together in order not to witness such events in the future he invites us to evening prayers at the mosque today and tomorrow our holy days for muslims. all breaking the fast understandably though the focus of today is on one of the darkest days in total stands modern history.
1:26 am
outside crowds continue to turn up an endless stream and aside from the pain on this day of mourning determination is also present not to let evil break the city spirit which today has showed its strength daniel hawkins r.t. because. of the shooting suspect has been identified as a 19 year old who was a former student of the school where the attack happened the perpetrator used a pump action shotgun for which he had a license. not to c.c.t.v. footage emerged online it turns out the suspect brazenly carried that shotgun all the way on his journey to school we can take a look now at the routine reportedly took from his house that journey would have taken just over 10 minutes the questions remain as to why no passers by called the police to alert them having seen somebody carrying a gun in the streets is one of
1:27 am
a number of issues the incident raised including what might have led the suspect to carry out such an attack in the 1st place those in knew him said it went completely against his character on wednesday. pleaded guilty and will remain in custody people in the court at the time said the suspect showed no sign of emotion during proceedings medical records reportedly said the suspect had a brain disorder psychiatric tests will be carried out to assess his mental state and discuss with experts questions this type of tragedy once again raced. our society not able to scream this before we've got many administrations a situation schools how come a profile like this one went through all of that and nobody saw that he was on the verge of committing this massive massive killing i think that's the serious issue that all of our societies have to tackle is to pinpoint find these persons and he'll come through on an awful lot of people with mental illness of one form or another all they have extreme views and if you give these people guns you've got to
1:28 am
expect that some states at these are going to go wrong so you you know that the less comes in society that the safer we will our it's no secret that you go on the internet you can find out what to do and how to do it and this is a this is a problem for all societies bullying revenge retaliation and side effects of psychosomatic easton's have been found to be the predominant causes of school violence drugs and i think one of the most important things that we need to do as counselors as educators as parents as administrators is we really have to work sheryl intentionally create a very safe school climate working together collaboratively with parents with teachers with administrators to really identify those students who may be withdrawn who may be quiet you may have struggled they have a recent loss who may be a victim of bullying you may be struggling academically or they have behavioral issues and the more that people can come together and identify the more that we can
1:29 am
be proactive rather than react i have one of the things that i learned by looking at different studies of shooters in schools or elsewhere is that there is no common pattern people are looking at for causes people that are us in the question why did this happen and unfortunately but no individual or their world who's got no political affiliations or links there is no way in which you can work out why this has happened all that we know is that we live in a world where. well there are a lot of people around who are isolated lonely whose life is pretty much unrestrained by communities whose maybe have gradually few friends was found movies are not really aware what they're up to in the digital bedrooms and as a result of that who can just simply go out and lose a sense of reality and become obsessed with a particular problem to the point at which they regard committing an act of
