St. Louis County Police have released surveillance video showing the two Black men and one white man entering Margaret Buerkle Middle School at about 1:30 Monday morning. They appear to be carrying walkie-talkies. Two are wearing surgical masks. The white man has a shirt pulled over his mouth and nose.
