Almost exactly two months later, four students were stabbed to death in a violent knife attack inside a rental home close to the campus, in what officials are describing as a “targeted” attack. A screenshot from a food truck live stream shows Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, and another person entering the frame from the right Blaine Eccles told reporters that the September incident unfolded when a group of incidents enountered a man “not affiliated with the university” as they were walking back to Greek Row – the row where the university’s fraternity and sorority houses lie. Ethan Chapin, 20, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, took this photo together hours before they died The man, who was chatting to another student at the time appears to notice them walk off and gestures at them, before he turns and walks away from the truck, turning right – the opposite direction. Law enforcement on the scene of the grisly murders Family members of the victims have balked at the assertion – given the killer or killers remain at large – with Goncalves’ sister warning on social media that “no one is safe” and urging students to leave town.
