[0:02] 20 people are in the hospital, some

[0:04] critically injured. Bombs have been

[0:07] found inside the school. Authorities say

[0:09] some of them were set up as booby traps.

[0:11] One did explode, but no one was injured.

[0:14] Authorities have not removed the bodies

[0:16] of the victims yet because of the danger

[1:12] Again, the scenes are familiar.

[1:15] We saw the black guns come out of the

[1:16] trench coats.

[1:17] And that's when we knew it was real. And

[1:19] then when we heard the bullets whiz by

[1:20] us, we knew that we better get out of

[1:22] there.

[1:23] But never on the scale.

[1:26] Up to 25 dead, nearly as many wounded.

[1:30] Then he started yelling again to

[1:31] everyone to get down. And then

[1:33] we knew that we were sitting ducks
