A photo of the
fight circulated widely on social media. One of the victims said a person
associated with the alleged assailants took the photo, and it was originally
posted making light of the attack. It rapidly circulated on the Internet, and
investigators used the picture to identify the suspects.

The victim, a
27-year-old man from Byron, asked not to be identified because he and the other
three victims have children in the school system and fear reprisal. He said
they went to Demon Valley to take their children sledding, and while they were
there a group of people in front of the school was having a snowball fight.

The wife of one

When members of the group having the snowball fight began hitting the van, the
victim said, the woman got out and asked them to stop.
At that point,
he said, someone hit her with a snowball, and part of the snowball landed on
the baby. The woman’s husband then approached, asked the group to stop and was
attacked, he said. He and two other men in the sledding group who came to his
aid were assaulted. He said no one in the sledding group instigated physical
contact.

He said they
did not call for an ambulance because their first concern was to remove their
children from the scene. As the adrenaline wore off later, he said, they
realized they were injured and sought treatment.

He said he
thinks about 30 people were directly involved in the attack, and he hopes there
will be more arrests. He said one female in the group having the snowball fight
tried to stop the attack, and she was “thrown back.” Other than the female, he
said, “there was not one innocent bystander.”

numbers in the parking lot. When the group realized that, they stopped and
fled.
