Gunmen attack Garissa University College in Kenya

Gunmen attacked a university in south central Kenya before dawn Thursday, firing indiscriminately and sending students scrambling for cover, witnesses and media reports said.

At least 30 people were hospitalized from the attack at Garissa University College, most of them with gunshot wounds, the Kenya Red Cross said.
The gunshots started going off "like fireworks" around 5 a.m., at the time of morning prayers, witness Milka Ndung'u told CNN affiliate NTV. She and others escaped to a field, but gunshots followed them.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack. But Garissa University College is in an area where Al Shabaab militants have sometimes led raids.
