Fourteen children have been killed in a stampede while rushing down a staircase at a primary school in western Kenya.
At least 39 more pupils were seriously injured in the incident at the Kakamega Primary School, the Daily Nation reported, citing Western Region Police Commander Peris Kimani.
"We lost 14 of them," Education Minister George Magoha told Citizen TV.
"One life [lost] is a life too many."
The Daily Nation said some of the children fell from the third floor as they ran.
"As kids were going home from school there was a stampede as they were going down the stairs," Peter Abwao, a spokesman for Red Cross Kenya, said.
"It's a three-storey building, it's a classroom block."
Some smart bastard must have put a bucket of KFC at the bottom of the stairs!
