Local time on June 1, a severe attack occurred in Boulder, Colorado. A man attacked the crowd with a firebomb, causing multiple people to be burned. The Boulder police later reported that the suspect had been detained. The suspect was confirmed to be an adult male, with minor injuries, and has been sent to the hospital for treatment.
Currently, the police have not yet announced the exact number of casualties, and the severity of injuries ranges from "very serious" to "minor". Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn stated that the police cannot confirm whether the attack targeted pro-Israel groups, and are interviewing witnesses and victims to further clarify the situation. He emphasized that it is "irresponsible" to draw conclusions about the motive at this point, and the incident has not yet been classified as a terrorist attack.
At a press conference on the same day, Boulder Police Chief Redfearn said that when the police arrived at the scene, they found "multiple victims with injuries including burns and other trauma." At the time of the incident, a group of pro-Israel individuals were holding a march in the area.
The Colorado Attorney General stated that given the nature of the target of the attack, this incident "appears to be a hate crime."
FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed earlier on social media that the FBI is fully investigating this "targeted terrorist attack," and FBI agents are working with local law enforcement officers at the scene.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino also posted that: "We are handling this incident as a terrorist attack and targeted violence, and will deploy all necessary resources." The investigation is ongoing, and the FBI and local law enforcement agencies will continue to release follow-up information. (CCTV reporter Xu Xiao)
