SCRIPT

Kenyan security officials say the assailants used explosives to access the public building. 

The suspected Al shabaab militants then opened fire killing six people instantly.

The regional governor says 27 other people at the site were saved as security guards intervened 

Madera town where the incident took place has been under frequent attacks from al shabaab, because it's less than a kilometer away from the Somali border.

Local media in Kenya say non-locals were the target. 

Kenyan forces are battling Al shabaab militants in Somalia, and have faced repeated retaliatory attacks on Kenyan soil.
