From article:
Eye-witness Collins Wetangula, the vice chairman of the student union, said he was preparing to take a shower when he heard gunshots coming from Tana dorm, which is home to both men and women, 150 yards away.
The campus has six dormitories and at least 887 students, he said.
He said that when he heard the gunshots he locked himself and three roommates in their room.
'All I could hear were footsteps and gunshots, nobody was screaming because they thought this would lead the gunmen to know where they are.
'The gunmen were saying sisi ni al-Shabaab [[Swaihi for we are al-Shabaab).'
Mr Wetangula said he could hear the gunmen interrogating fellow students hiding inside their rooms about their religion.
He said: 'If you were a Christian you were shot on the spot. With each blast of the gun I thought I was going to die.'
The gunmen started to shoot rapidly and it was as if there was an exchange of fire, he said.
'The next thing, we saw people in military uniform through the window of the back of our rooms who identified themselves as the Kenyan military.'
