We know that Anakin killed the younglings, and that there is a lot derived from the other movies. We know that Luke was teaching Jedi, and was betrayed. We also saw the vision that Rey had when she touched the light saber. There are definitely bodies strewn about, and what appears to be Kylo Ren.
So the impression is certainly given that Kylo Ren killed the trainees.
But does the movie every outright say that? If so, I missed it.

In the movie, Han Solo says that Luke was training a new generation of Jedi, and one of the ones he was training turned on him and destroyed it. The Wookieepedia
seems to believe he did, in fact, kill them, but we haven't actually SEEN anything on the screen that says it specifically. The internetz are based on some canon, some speculation.
IMO: I don't think Kylo Ren killed them. He may have led the Knights of Ren there to destroy them, but I don't think *REN* lifted a light saber to anyone. And I think THIS is why it's so important that he kills Han.
Just thinking about little Emo Ben... trying to be the big, baddie like Grandpa but having too much good like Mommy and Uncle Luke in him. If he had slaughtered a bunch of (potentially young) Jedi trainees, that should have put an end to a lot of the light side/dark side struggle he's going through. That's why he
had to kill Han. Or felt like he did. Because that would cement that he's #TeamDarkside and maybe stop the ickle Light Side feelings he's been suppressing and fighting with.
