Elise Stellebotte, 17, who is studying for a motor mechanics diploma, said she and fellow students left their classroom after hearing several shots being fired. She said: 'I herd several shots being fired really quickly and everyone dived out of the classroom. I saw the gunman. He was wearing a black Puma hoodie and a mask. I was only a few yards away and I could see he had this pistol in his hand and was waving it around. 'I don't think he was very old but he was difficult to see behind the mask and hoodie. He pointed the pistol at my tutor and fired but they were just blanks thank God. He was so shocked. 'He continued ranting and shouting telling people to 'Run, run'. He was trying to scare people, deliberately. Everyone was pretty scared. 'No-one knew what was going on. I didn't feel to scared so I tried to approach him but we were told to get back in the classroom. Everyone was pretty petrified. We had no idea what was happening and it's worrying with all the terror attacks you hear about. 'I heard he stabbed on lecturer in the hand when he tried to tackle him and I also heard he may have also stabbed himself.' https://www.mylondon.news/…/canning-town-stabbing-live-upda…
