A male suspect was taken into custody on Sunday after multiple people were set on fire during an event calling for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza at a pedestrian mall in Boulder, Colorado, authorities said, in what the FBI earlier described as a "
targeted terror attack."
The suspect, identified by authorities as Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, yelled "Free Palestine" during the attack, Mark Michalek, special agent in charge at the FBI’s Denver field office, said during a Sunday night news conference. There were six victims in the attack, ages 67 to 88, who were all transported to local hospitals.
Four victims were taken to Boulder Community Hospital, and two others were airlifted to a hospital in the Denver metropolitan area, Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn said. He added that at least one victim was "very seriously" injured and other victims received "more minor injuries."
