“Someone screamed at us to get down and hide below the desks,” he said, adding that the gunmen shouted “Allahu akbar” (God is greatest) before opening fire. “Then one of them shouted: ‘There are so many children beneath the benches, go and get them’,” Khan told AFP. “I saw a pair of big black boots coming towards me, this guy was probably hunting for students hiding beneath the benches.” Khan said he felt searing pain as he was shot in both his legs just below the knee. He decided to play dead, adding: “I folded my tie and pushed it into my mouth so that I wouldn’t scream. “The man with big boots kept on looking for students and pumping bullets into their bodies. I lay as still as I could and closed my eyes, waiting to get shot again. “My body was shivering. I saw death so close and I will never forget the black boots approaching me — I felt as though it was death that was approaching me.” The Army Public School is attended by boys and girls from both military and civilian backgrounds. As his father, a shopkeeper, comforted him in his blood-soaked bed, Khan recalled: “The men left after some time and I stayed there for a few minutes. Then I tried to get up but fell to the ground because of my wounds. “When I crawled to the next room, it was horrible. I saw the dead body of our office assistant on fire,” he said. “She was sitting on the chair with blood dripping from her body as she burned.” It was not immediately clear how the female employee’s body caught fire, though her remains were also later seen by an AFP reporter in a hospital mortuary. Khan, who said he also saw the body of a soldier who worked at the school, crawled behind a door to hide and then lost conciousness. “When I woke up I was lying on the hospital bed,” he added. How sad this is: My son was my dream and my dream had been shot dead Father of a killed school boy said this. 😭 Blowing up a 100 children is easy but facing Allah on the day of Judgement wont be easy.
