Boko Haram attacks school in Nigeria critically injuring six people

A gunman opened fire on students after walking into a high school in Nigeria critically injuring six people, witnesses said. The gunman, who was caught and beaten by locals, was accompanied by a suicide bomber who detonated but only blew himself up, the sources said. The attackers arrived at the College of Administrative and Business Studies in Potiskum, north Nigeria, and opened fire at the school gate.

They kept shooting as they jumped the school wall and detonated a bomb at the student dorm, according to witnesses. An Associated Press reporter watched soldiers and police officers rush to the school to confront attackers in a firefight. It is the first school attack reported since a three-month-old multinational offensive has driven Boko Haram out of towns and villages seized last year.
