NAIROBI, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) -- Seven people among them six students and a night guard died after heavily armed militia suspected to be from South Sudan stormed a high school in Kenya's Turkana County on Saturday dawn.

The armed bandits who were said to be on a revenge mission attacked the students in their dormitory while they were asleep.

Sources revealed that one of the attackers was a student in Lokichogio Secondary School that is located near the Kenya-South Sudan border.

The male student who had earlier been suspended after he was caught fighting with his counterpart vowed to go back to school and revenge.

Dozens of injured students were rushed to a nearby health centre for treatment.
