Hysterical children at a Pietermaritzburg primary school scrambled for cover when a gunman allegedly fired shots randomly and attacked three adults.

Footage of Tuesday's incident and the man being overpowered and disarmed by ground staff at Alston Primary has gone viral.

The KwaZulu-Natal education department condemned the “violent attack” and has dispatched social workers to provide counselling to traumatised pupils and staff. “According to preliminary reports an assailant gained entry into the school premises through the pedestrian gate, attacked the security [guard] and two other adults before opening fire randomly,” the department said in a statement.

“The violent incident took place in full view of learners, who were visibly shocked and traumatised by the chaotic scenes that happened. “In a video obtained from a witness, the learners can be seen and heard screaming and running for cover.”
