147 people have been killed after al-Shabaab gunmen stormed a university in Kenya, opened fire on dormitories and began separating Muslim and Christian students.
Heavy gunfire was reported at the Garissa University College, 120 miles from the Somalian border, when militants attacked the building. There were over 800 students inside at the time.
Kenya's National Police Service said armed militants shot at campus guards to gain entry, triggering a "fierce shootout". The attackers still managed to get inside one of the student dormitories.
