Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn holds a press conference on the reported attack targeting a gathering of pro-Israel activists in the Colorado city earlier this afternoon.

He says that at 1:26 p.m. local time, police received calls that there was a “man with a weapon” near the county courthouse on 13th and Pearl St. and that “people were being set on fire.”

When police arrived at the scene shortly thereafter, they encountered “multiple victims” with injuries “consistent with burns,” Redfearn says.

Witnesses at the scene told CBS Colorado that the suspect attacked people with Molotov cocktails who were participating in a walk to remember the Israeli hostages who remain in Gaza.

CBS cites witnesses who saw the suspect attack people with Molotov cocktails while they were participating in a weekly walk to raise awareness for the hostages in Gaza.
