Gunfire and explosions at Nigerian school as Boko Haram carry out latest attack during classes

Boko Haram carried out their latest attack on a Nigerian school during classes today, critically injuring six students.

A gunman opened fire on students after walking into a high school in Potiskum, northeast Nigeria, before being overcome by security forces.
The gunman, who was caught and beaten by locals, was accompanied by a suicide bomber, who died after blowing himself up prematurely in the car park of the College of Administrative and Business Studies.
Another 45 people are being treated for injuries sustained as they jumped out of windows and over walls to escape the attackers, according to a hospital worker.
