The first reports said those responsible were immigrants from North Africa, later changed to Americans. But just shocking and tragic regardless of who is responsible
according to the news, they were a couple of teenagers from California, were tracked on video back to the hotel, and confessed. The knife used to kill the police officer was hidden in the ceiling. Very sad, the police officer just came back from his honeymoon.
