Hi teachers. Three questions to this:
The terrorists strided into the hotel lobby and fired into the air to put themselves in power.
1) Is 'fired' enough or should I add something to it?
2) Is 'put themselves in power' OK or what else could I say?
3) Is it possible to use 'fired into the air' when they're inside?
Thanks in advance.
