My thoughts are also with all those whose day-to-day school turned into a terrifying nightmare. Being confined to a class and worrying about your life is a nightmare that no one should experience. The government is in close contact with the Police Authority and is closely monitoring developments. The operation is still underway and it is important that the public monitor information from the police. My appeal is also to give police now the calm that it takes to investigate what happened and how these terrible crimes could have happened”
