At least five children have died and four others are in critical condition as of Thursday [Australia time], 美联社报道.
“On a day where these children were meant to be celebrating their last day at primary school, instead we are all mourning their loss,” Commissioner Darren Hine said in a statement on Tasmania Police’s website.
Hine said among the children who lost their lives were “two boys and two girls in year 6, which would make them 10 要么 11 岁,” according to the AP. Hine said the fifth child died in the hospital.
