After an attack in Boulder, Colorado that the FBI director described as a “targeted terror attack,” a male suspect has been taken into custody, according to police.
Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn said on Sunday that the man was apprehended following calls to the police dispatch of a person who was “setting people on fire,” while underlining that the information was “very preliminary.”
Redfearn claimed that he had been taken to the hospital and that he was not yet able to identify the suspect. According to him, the victims suffered a variety of injuries, ranging from “very serious to more minor” injuries.
The Boulder attack took place close to a memorial walk for the Israeli prisoners still living in Gaza.
Agents were present, according to FBI Director Kash Patel, who described the incident as a “targeted terror attack” in a statement.
However, Redfearn claimed that a motive was too early to speculate.
He claimed that at this time, “we are not calling it a terror attack.”
I ask that you join me in considering the victims, the victims’ families, and everyone who was involved in this tragedy because it happened on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in Boulder’s Pearl Street.
