Gunmen in Kenya Mount Deadly Attack on University

nytimes.com - NAIROBI, Kenya — Gunmen attacked a university in eastern Kenya early Thursday, killing at least two people and wounding dozens more as they fought with armed officers and forced their way into student dormitories, the police said.

The National Disaster Operation Center of Kenya said two people had been killed and 29 others had been admitted to a hospital, most with gunshot wounds. Four critically wounded people were airlifted to Nairobi, the capital, for treatment, the center said on Twitter.

The attack began around 5:30 a.m., with gunmen shooting at guards at a main gate at Garissa University College in eastern Kenya, about 100 miles from the border with Somalia, according to a written statement from the Kenyan National Police Service.
