An investigation was underway May 7 into a violent attack that occurred last week targeting a pro-Palestinian encampment in UCLA’s Royce Quad, with the university calling in local and federal authorities who could be using high-tech tools in hopes of tracking down the perpetrators.
The attack was carried out by dozens of masked assailants beginning late April 30 and continuing into the early morning hours of May 1. The group set off fireworks in and around the encampment, and there were reports of pepper spray and bear repellent being deployed.
