A child's drawing on torn graph paper that depicts two men on horseback, one person on foot, and a helicopter all firing weapons on a small grouping of houses with multiple other human figures around them, some of whom appear to be women or children. The attackers are colored in with a red colored pencil or crayon, while the rest of the illustration uses only pencil and a blue pen, making the perpetrators stand out significantly.
