(PESHAWAR, Pakistan) — At least one student survived Tuesday's tragic Taliban attack at a Pakistan school by playing dead, the BBC reported.

Shireen Khalid Wadud told the BBC that her friend's 13-year-old daughter was the only one to escape from her class when the attackers bombarded the military-run school in Peshawar.

She told the network the girl was trying to find her brother — another student — when shots were fired, and there was "bloodshed everywhere."

"She pretended to be dead because her clothes were washed up in blood," Wadud said. "And then when they thought that she was dead, they turned away, and that is how she managed to escape from the back door."

"She is wounded in her leg, but fortunately it is not serious," Wadud continued. "She is in [the] hospital. She is very panicked and she is frightened."

At least 141 people died in the attack, a Pakistani official said. Panicked parents have been searching for their children at area hospitals. Most of the victims are students.
