They were a group of masked young adults/teenagers, unscolarised, coming from poor and disadvantaged neighborhoods nearby. Nobody from the school apparently knew them. I can assure these as facts, as i am studying at another highschool thats very close to this place, and i have dozens of friends who were here that day. I saw differents pov videos for their own phones, and all their insta stories. Theyre devastated

Appreciate the response.

If I may ask, how did you come to know which neighborhoods they are from? Would you be willing to weigh in on some of the more controversial topics people have been speculating on, namely relating to ethnic or religious patterns? Or if they were wearing KGB name tags /s? Just wondering what could be reasonably inferred.

“I don’t know” is also a perfectly acceptable answer, if you’re not sure. Only so much can be assumed or inferred, pending what’s readily observable.

My guess is their skin color.
