Colorado governor calls Boulder attack a ‘vicious act of terrorism’

Luke Tress is The Times of Israel's New York correspondent.

Colorado Governor Jared Polis condemns an apparent attack on hostage demonstrators in Boulder as a “vicious act of terrorism.”

“As the American Jewish community continues to reel from the horrific antisemitic murders in Washington, D.C., it is unfathomable that the Jewish community is facing another terror attack here in Boulder,” Polis says on X.

The attack targeted several individuals while they were marching for the hostages, he says.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says, “We’re united in prayer for the victims of a targeted terror attack this afternoon in Boulder. Terror has no place in our great country.”
