From what's been posted here, some hostages decided to try and escape, and when that happened the terrorists started shooting at them, Russian forces fired to provide them some cover, and at least one of the terrorists set off explosives in the gym, bringing the roof down. At that point the security forces didn't have a choice but to move in.
Withhold judgement on the Russian security services until more information comes out. And never lose sight whose hands the blood of those kids is REALLY on. Hint: It's not the FSB.

Thanks for filling in some of the pieces.
Obviously, the terrorists are to blame.
