NEW:Colorado’s governor, a member of Boulder’s Jewish community, knows two of the people injured in Sunday’s attack "It's going to be a tough recovery for these folks. These are very serious burns.” coloradosun.com/2025/06/02/j...

Suspect told authorities he tried to buy a gun to use in the attack but was rebuffed because he's living in the U.S. illegally. He resorts to Molotov cocktails instead.

The suspect in the attack on a group raising awareness about Israeli hostages told authorities he targeted the group after learning about their demonstration online. He told investigators he would carry out the attack again if given the chance: coloradosun.com/2025/06/02/m...

Update from Boulder police

Police arrested Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, at the scene. Investigators say he shouted “free Palestine!" as he used a “makeshift flamethrower” and hurled an “incendiary device” at the demonstrators.

“I saw smoke on the ground. I saw blood on the ground. I saw smoke coming from a person — literally a human being burning,” one witness told us
