College provost Molima Idi Mato, speaking to Associated Press, also said the number of dead could be as high as 50, adding that security forces were still recovering the bodies and that about 1,000 students had fled the campus

It could have been a lot worse if they had silencers. :shock:

Only in films. In reality silencers/suppressors don't do much for the absolute noise level of firing a gun (see an example here), they change the noise characteristics to make it harder to identify which direction gunfire is coming from. If you combine them with sub-sonic ammunition they do get a fair bit quieter but they still make a fair noise. And subsonic ammo is quite hard to get hold of in general.
