The FBI office in Denver says the number of victims wounded in the Boulder, Colorado, firebombing attack has climbed to 15.
Authorities initially reported eight victims who were the most severely injured.
That figure was later updated to 12, as more victims have come forward who were less badly wounded during the investigation.
The victims, eight women and seven men, are between the ages of 25 and 88. One dog was also injured, the FBI says.
An 88-year-old woman was the most severely wounded. A female Holocaust survivor was also wounded.
The number of victims could have implications for the suspect’s charges and sentencing.
The suspect, Mohamed Soliman, has been charged with two counts of attempted murder for each of the initial eight victims, for a total of 16 counts of attempted murder.
Those charges are being filed by the state of Colorado. Federal prosecutors are also charging Soliman with a hate crime. He faces a potential sentence of life in prison.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
