All the ninth graders were killed that fateful day on Tuesday, when the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan opened fire at the Peshawar Army Public School in Pakistan. All but one – 15 year-old Dawood Ibrahim.
The Express Tribune reported, because of a family wedding the night before and an alarm clock that remained silent, he was able to escape the tragedy.
Escaping such tragedy is one thing but dealing with it afterwards is another. Dawood lost not one, two or even three of his closest friends, but six. As a result, he is immensely traumatized and is said to be rendered speechless.
“He is in judo and is a tough child but he is showing no emotion at all right now. He just attended funerals the entire day. No one from his class survived. Every single one of them was killed,” Dawood’s elder brother Sufyan Ibrahim told The Express Tribune.
“Dawood isn’t talking to anyone; he isn’t talking at all,” his brother said.

We can’t even begin to imagine what this poor child must be going through. One minute having fun, the next, learning the fate of his closest friends. Our prayers are with him, his family, and the families related to this terrible incident.
