00:08Wednesday. Officials warned that this number could still rise. Citizens laid tributes to
00:13the victims at the site of the attack. Candles were lit and flowers laid as police helicopters
00:19circled above the heavily policed scene. A witness said he and his fellow students barricaded
00:25themselves in a classroom with tables and chairs before police came and knocked down
00:30the door.
00:31And when they took us out from the classroom, when I passed the entrance to the school,
00:40I looked down and there was blood everywhere. And then I looked to the right, inside the
00:46school, it was blood everywhere on the floor. It was crazy. Crazy.
00:54Authorities were working to identify the victims and said the suspected gunman was among the
00:59dead. There were no warnings beforehand and police believe the perpetrator acted alone
01:05but did not release a possible motive.
