PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) - Taliban gunmen stormed a military-run school in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar on Tuesday, killing 126 people, officials said, in the worst attack to hit the country in years.

The overwhelming majority of the victims were students at the army public school, which has children and teenagers in grades 1-10.

Latest update is saying 145 dead, more than 100 of them children. It's mind reeling.

I really hate the Taliban. They're a bunch of murdering cowards who target children because they're pathetic wastes of air. My heart goes out to all the children and their families.
