Not to mention that they did something similar to that with Tukson's death at the very beginning of the same exact volume! Tukson leaps through the air, completely misses his target, looks ahead with his eyes wide, cut to viewing Mercury, Mercury kicks the screen, BANG gunshot noise, screen goes black. Merc and Em later outright say that they killed him.

So, trying to take the stance of "They couldn't confirm that civilians died in Breach because that would be too kid-unfriendly for the show" is kind of bullshit. Especially since we had that whole scene where Oobleck explained the history of Mountain Glenn, where the kingdom shut down the tunnels, trapping an entire city's worth of people in the caves to die, and doesn't even dance around the idea of them dying. "After that, the Kingdom officially sealed off the tunnels, creating the world's largest tomb." Their deaths were partially the kingdom's fault. It wasn't just a tragedy of "Oh no, Grimm got in, now we're doomed!" It was "Oh no, Grimm got in! Oh no, the kingdom sealed us in! We can't escape now! We're doomed!"

Like I said, they could've shown people cornered by Grimm, they could've shown a giant Nevermore carrying someone away, stuff like that. That would show people in clear and iminent danger. And have Ruby or someone say that people were killed. They don't necessarily have to say "A lot of people were killed."
