• 7:07 a.m. ET: Heavy gunfire and explosions continue at Garissa University College, more than nine hours after the attack began, CNN affiliate NTV reports. Hundreds of students fled, some crawling.

• 6:22 a.m. ET: One terrorist was arrested as he tried to slip through the security cordon and flee the scene, officials said, according to Citizen TV.

Full story:

A swarm of gunmen stormed a Kenya university before dawn Thursday, opening fire and taking hostages.

At least 15 people were killed at Garissa University College, the Kenyan Interior Ministry said. As many as 550 others are unaccounted for at the campus that had about 815 students, according to CNN affiliate Citizen TV.

The Somalia-based Al-Shabaab militant group claimed responsibility for the assault.

Gunmen burst into early morning Christian prayers, said Joel Ayora, who was on the campus and witnessed the attack. Taking hostages from the service, the gunmen then "proceeded to the hostels, shooting anybody they came across except their fellows, the Muslims."

I expressed this thought on another thread: This is a Crusade with only one side fighting.

The NYT article on this doesn’t include the word “Christians” and refers to the Islamic Scum Terrorists simply as “gunmen”. Nice.

I bet our students won’t be turban headed Muzzie carpet worshippers for long if they pull that crap over here. The hijab wearing celebrities will disappear overnight it that happens too. Its coming. Arm up. The police and tge government won’t protect you from these guys for fear of a lweypuit for exercising thir religious beliefs while Christians are forced to serve wedding cakes and pizzas to sodomites. Go figure.

Well, the Christians were probably discriminating against them, so that makes it OK.

At least when my fingers stop working it will be because of age and unlike you young ‘uns who are using your thumbs or fingers or whatever on the new devices Hillary can’t handle. Took me forever to give up a dial phone and get rid of B&W TV - none of those devices for me. Seriously, I do think anyone addicted to those is going to experience lots of trouble later.. I see my 6 year old grandson using the controls of Wii and see trouble looming for him and his generation. Hope is gone for his mom and dad and their devices....Sure is fun to visit with everyone sitting around with a device in their hands! Only in their house - not in mine!

I remember when that picture was taken but darned if I recall where or why!!

Did we ever have a president (before this creep) whose picture was taken while he’s drinking beer or any alcoholic beverage? I’m not saying they didn’t do it - no doubt they all did - but to have their picture taken? I don’t believe one exists of any president doing it. And as far as I’m concerned, that’s the way it should stay!
