On Sunday, a peaceful demonstration in Boulder, Colorado turned chaotic when a 45-year-old man suddenly interrupted the event by shouting "Free Palestine" and throwing incendiary devices into the crowd. The demonstration, which aimed to honor the memory of Israeli hostages in Gaza, saw senior residents aged between 67 and 88 in attendance.
FBI special agent Mark Michalek from the Denver Field Office confirmed that six people were injured and transported to hospitals. He stressed that preliminary findings point to a targeted act of violence, while FBI Director Kash Patel described the episode as a "targeted terror attack." Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser also mentioned the possibility of a hate crime given the group that was targeted.
Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn stated that no additional individuals appear to be involved and that authorities are confident the lone suspect, Mohamed Soliman, is now in custody.
