Although the exact initial publishing platform is not formally identified, sources indicate early diffusion on Facebook before major amplification via BuzzFeed. A Korean news channel also confirms its presence on YouTube on that specific date, without naming the actual shooter. The identities of both the boy and the dog remain unknown to the public.
