The FBI chief says the agency is investigating a “targeted terror attack” in Boulder, Colorado, amid reports of an assault on a pro-Israel demonstration in the US city.
The Boulder Police Department tweets that it is also responding to the attack, adding that there are “reports of several victims.”
One person has been arrested on suspicion of hurling a Molotov cocktail at pro-Israel demonstrators, with initial reports saying at least five people were injured, the Axios news site says.
The Anti-Defamation League says the attack took place at today’s Boulder Run for Their Lives event – a weekly meeting of Jewish community members to run/walk in support of the hostages kidnapped during Hamas’s October 7 onslaught.
“We are aware of and fully investigating a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado,” Kash Patel says on X, adding that “our agents and local law enforcement are on the scene already, and we will share updates as more information becomes available.”
