According to several reports, Some of the 1,100 students at the school were lined up and slaughtered with shots to the head. Others were  either gunned down as they cowered under their desks, or forced to watch as their teachers were riddled with bullets.

Their parents were said to have crowded around the school gates, praying their children would survive while listening to the explosions and gunfire as Pakistani commandos stormed the building.
P.S 
I watched it on the news and the images were quite disturbing.
My thoughts and prayers goes out to everyone affected.
