What went wrong?
About 25 children were sent to the hospital after police reportedly used tear gas on them as they protested frequent pedestrian collisions in front of the school.
During the demonstration, the victims were alleged to be members of a gang of students that stopped the Abrepo Junction-Barekese route.
The enraged students had gathered on the road in protest, demanding that speed ramps be built on that stretch of road.
