It is said that soldiers where told by their commander they should not shoot. But on that alarming moments a soldier shot. As the sound came out of the gun, some more of the other soldiers too. Soon the attack had taken five lives. Later on, the soldiers were taken to court so they would be punished if their actions where not tolerated.
