An elite squad of the Federal Bureau of Investigations has joined the hunt for the person or people responsible for the alleged early-Sunday morning killings of four University of Idaho students.
Ethan Chapin, 20, Xana Kernodle, 20, Madison Mogen, 21, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, were all University of Idaho students who died inside a King Street home in Moscow, Idaho between 3 and 4 a.m. on Sunday, according to Moscow Mayor Art Bettge.
On Sunday at 11:58 a.m., police were called to a report of an unconscious person when they discovered the four dead pupils.
In a press release on Tuesday, officials stated that the suspect attacked the students with an “edged weapon such as a knife.” There is “no imminent threat to the population at large,” according to investigators, who believe that the incident was “an isolated, targeted attack.”
