During a demonstration in Boulder, Colorado, advocating for the release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, multiple people were injured when an attacker used a weapon to ignite flames among the crowd. The group, Run for Their Lives – Boulder, has been organizing these demonstrations regularly since November 2023, following the October 7 attack by Hamas on Israel. Police Chief Stephen Redfearn confirmed that a suspect, whose identity remains undisclosed, is in custody and received minor injuries requiring hospitalization. Authorities are urging people to avoid downtown Boulder as they investigate a vehicle potentially linked to the incident. Redfearn emphasized that the area is not yet deemed safe.
The FBI is also involved in the investigation, but Chief Redfearn cautioned against prematurely speculating about the motive behind the attack, stating that it’s “way too early to speculate.” The group promotes continued awareness and activism until all hostages are released, as highlighted in a notice for an upcoming February event. Reporting on the situation includes contributions from Dennis Romero, Gemma DiCasimirro, and Linda Takahashi for NBC News Digital.
