Taliban militants swarmed a school in Peshawar, Pakistan Tuesday morning. The militants scaled the walls heavily armed to begin what became an hours-long siege. At least 141 people, including 132 children and nine staff members were killed in the attack. The attack began at 10 a.m. local time, and by 4 p.m. the Pakistani military had confined all seven attackers. Later the militants were announced dead. Authorities will remain in the school overnight to check for survivors and victims, as well as any explosive devices that may have been planted.
