They were born in American but grew up in Senegal and have only been in the U.S for about a month when the attack happened.They were taken to the hospital for treatment following the mindless attack.

"If they go to the gym they don't want them touching the ball - 'Oh, you have Ebola, don't play with us,'" Drame said during a press conference which was called yesterday October 27th to address the issue by the African advocacy group.
