Police in Boulder say the number of people wounded when a man yelled “Free Palestine” and threw incendiary devices into a crowd where a demonstration to support the Israeli hostages in Gaza was taking place has risen to eight.

Four women and four men between 52 and 88 years old were transported to hospitals, Boulder police says. Authorities had earlier put the count of the injured at six and said at least one of them was in a critical condition.
