An attack at the Pearl Street pedestrian mall in Boulder, Colorado, injured several people during a rally supporting Israeli hostages in Gaza. The suspect, a 45-year-old man who shouted 'Free Palestine' and employed incendiary devices, has been charged with a federal hate crime, assault, and explosives-related charges. He illegally entered the U.S. on a tourist visa in 2022. Eight individuals were taken to hospitals, and police believe he acted alone. Officials labeled the incident a targeted terror attack, emphasizing the need to confront such violence.
This was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in downtown Boulder on Pearl Street and this act was unacceptable. I ask that you join me in thinking about the victims.
We are fully investigating a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado. Terror has no place in the United States.
