How do scientists know that KT extinction took place?

When we see that there are fossils found in a certain geological layer, which are evidence that a certain species existed at that time, and then in the next geological stratum we no longer find those fossils, and there is no evidence that the species which used to exist still exists, we infer that the species became extinct. If a whole lot of species become extinct at approximately the same time, we call that an extinction event, such as the KT extinction.
