“Our psychologist, two teachers, an eleventh grader, and the parents of our students died”

views: 2316

On March 2, at 1:00 a.m., the headmistress of school No. 29 was in the waiting room. Children were playing on the soccer field, and suddenly Larisa’s husband shouted, “Drop to the ground!” There was a clap, followed by numerous explosions, and windows shattered throughout the school. It was the first time that the school had been shelled. We ran out into the corridor and saw that all the walls were cut by shrapnel. 

The shelling continued. There were children on the field, and when we went out there, we saw a jacket covered in blood and two or three pairs of sneakers. One boy, Ilya, was killed. Two other boys were wounded.
