The April 16 attack outside Rosslyn School was caught on video that circulated widely in the community. Edmonton Police Chief Dale McFee updated the media on Thursday about the attack on a Black student outside Rosslyn School on April 16. (Edmonton Police Service) The Grade 8 student, who CBC News is only identifying by the name Pazo, was swarmed by seven other boys who are seen punching and kicking him. Someone was heard calling him the N-word during the attack. McFee said the slur was "highly inappropriate" but in itself did not constitute a hate crime. McFee said some of the students come from racialized communities and have received threats. He called for calm and called out social media posts he said have inflamed the situation.
