In general, there are a lot of questions, but I think I'll answer some.
According to official media reports, the Investigative Committee reported about the grenade launcher.
If you look closely at the corner where many people, especially children, are concentrated, you will notice that there is some kind of weapons demonstration being carried out by military personnel.
This is also indicated by the fact that the child is photographed with a machine gun.
Most likely, a grenade launcher was also demonstrated. And perhaps one of the children fired a shot.

Moscow, Russia - April, 2003
A Russian bomb disposal expert has been killed when a bomb he was trying to defuse by hand exploded in central Moscow.
Russian media report that a woman took the bomb into a crowded restaurant in a bag and threatened to blow it up, before it was seized from her.
Security officers failed to dispose of the device by remote control and it detonated when an officer was trying to defuse it manually.
The woman has been detained and is being investigated for possible links with Chechen suicide bombers who killed 14 people at an outdoor rock concert over the weekend.

Eleven people have been killed and 100 others injured after a fire broke out inside a firecracker factory in Madhya Pradesh's Harda. The flames triggered several explosions, sparking panic in the nearby areas.
The injured have been rushed to hospital and some of them are in a critical condition, said an official. The intensity of the blasts was such that people in the adjoining Seoni Malwa area in Narmadapuram district said they experienced tremors.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has spoken to officials and sought details about the incident. In a post on X, the Chief Minister said minister Uday Pratap Singh and senior officials are on their way to Harda. Medical colleges in Bhopal and Indore have been asked to prep for patients with burns, he said, adding that more fire engines are being rushed to the spot.
A video of the incident shows tall flames and smoke billowing from the factory. In the road next to it, people are seen fleeing in fear as the blasts ring through the air.
Fire engines have reached the spot and work is on to bring the flames under control. "The rescue operation is on. We have also called in the National Disaster Response Force," District Collector Rishi Garg said.
A factory worker, who managed to escape after the fire broke out, said about 150 workers were on the premises when the incident took place.
