Gurgaon: The two accused teenagers in the Gurgaon school shooting case shared a 'deep friendship' with the classmate they allegedly killed and all the three were 'gentle' in nature, their schoolmates said on Wednesday.
A shocked Class VII girl of the Euro International School, who knew the victim Abhishek, said the friendship between the three was "so deep that no one could have separated them".
"Actually Abhishek was very gentle and the two (accused) were also very gentle. This accident happened very suddenly. This happened because of some unfateful period," the girl told a news channel.
In a first of its kind shooting in an Indian school, Abhishek was killed, allegedly by two of his classmates who pumped five bullets into him shortly after the school -- Euro International -- closed for the day.
Recounting Tuesday's incident, another boy, younger than the three, said he came to know about the incident when his friend asked him to get off from the swing and follow him.
"During the shooting, Karan (friend) said get off from the swing and I followed him. Then I could not sleep at night," the boy said.
Yet another student said Abhishek was "very gentle and his behaviour was good with every child".
School Principal Mamata Sharma said the school did not shirk responsibility in the matter but alleged that parents of the accused children acted in an irresponsible manner.
"Parents should be extra careful. A child does not have that maturity to understand that weapons are dangerous," she added.
