Police in Boulder, Colorado, have confirmed a "targeted terror attack" that occurred at Pearl Street Mall during a pro-Israel march. The incident resulted in multiple injuries as participants gathered to demand the release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.
The Boulder police were quick to evacuate sections of Pearl Street, advising people to steer clear of the area. FBI Director Kash Patel announced via social media that federal agents were investigating the situation closely. Witnesses indicated that the assailant used molotov cocktails to target marchers from an organization called Run For Their Lives, which emphasized that the event was a peaceful demonstration of solidarity with the hostages and their families.
Growing concern over public safety was evident as videos from the scene showed evidence of chaos, including a burning area in front of the old courthouse and individuals requiring medical attention being carried away on stretchers. Reports also surfaced showing a male suspect being detained by police, underscoring the urgent response to the attack.
