When Ghayyda Thabet first heard the sound of gunfire, her mother was convinced it was just fireworks.

“I called mum, asked her ‘Did you hear that?’” she told the JC.

“She said, ‘chill, chill, it’s just a firework’. I was looking to the sky. I was hoping to see the firework, I said ‘mum there is nothing. The sky is clear’.”

“There were ladies there with their children, they were so afraid, crying,” she said.
