READ MORE: Several gunmen entered Kabul university Monday morning and opened fire, killing at least 19 people and wounding more than 20 others.
Students and faculty rushed out of classes and tried to escape the campus, some climbing the barbed wired walls of the university to get to safety. A video uploaded to Twitter by Afghan TV channel Tolo news shows students running as gunshots are heard in the background.
“My students and I tried to leave the university. The situation was very tense. Everyone was running,” said one professor who did not want to be named.
Security forces soon surrounded the area and cordoned it off. Several armored security vehicles could be seen outside the university. Tariq Arian, a spokesman for the ministry of interior, said the security forces were combing the university but moving slowly to avoid civilian casualties.
