Point of Correction: The Recce Squad was actually transported by Road. That’s why they arrived in the evening.

[@jaygee5757]

Lucky enough, the sniper was facing the gate while he was running in the opposite direction. We thank God for rescuing him. May the souls of the departed rest in power.

Leo I've gathered courage to watch this. Mutuma was my baby cousin (the guy that went back for his girl) identifying his body was too traumatic. Btw his girlfriend had been very close to him alikua amejificha. She made it out without a scratch. We think he put up a fight coz he was shot multiple times and his throat was slit.

So sad. I vividly remember this day. As a former 1 pale Garissa high school (a kilometre from the University) niliamshwa na dorm captain so that I can go to mosque for morning prayers. Exactly 5:27am nikikojoa outside the dormitory nilisika mlio wa risasi. Quatre an hour later I could see hundreds of students amongst ladies with only bikini and bra bila viatu who luckily survived from the shameful incident wakipita next to our school fence.

One thing about Kenyans is that we don't know how to put our judiciary to use. If only the parents of those students had come together to sue that police boss who was using the police helicopter for his personal uses and also sue the police boss of Garissa for the lack of patrol, I'm sure that even if it wouldn't bring their loved ones back to life,at least someone would have been held liable and prevented such situations in future. So many lives didn't have to be lost.
