More info on yesterday's attack:
BOULDER, Colo. — A suspect is in custody after eight people were injured in an attack on a group of people walking to raise awareness of Israeli hostages Sunday afternoon on the Pearl Street Mall, Boulder police chief Stephen Redfearn said.
The attack happened around 1:30 p.m. in the area of the historic courthouse at 1235 Pearl Street. Law enforcement initially said six victims were taken to hospitals. Sunday night, Boulder police said after receiving updated information, they have now identified eight victims -- four women and four men between ages 52 and 88.
Miri Kornfeld, an organizer with a group that holds weekly walks to raise awareness of Israeli hostages, told 9NEWS the group was walking on Pearl Street on Sunday afternoon. When they arrived at the courthouse, a man was waiting there with bottles, Kornfeld said. He threw the bottles, and multiple people were burned, including one woman who was badly burned and had to roll on the ground to put the fire out, she said.
One of the victims is a Holocaust survivor, a friend told 9NEWS.
FBI Denver Special Agent in Charge Mark Michalek said witnesses reported the suspect used a makeshift flamethrower and threw an incendiary device into the crowd. He was heard yelling "Free Palestine" during the attack, Michalek said.
Redfearn said officers "immediately ran into a chaotic situation where a man was throwing Molotov cocktails and using other devices to hurt people." People on the scene pointed out the suspect to officers, Redfearn said, and he was taken into custody without incident. He was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, Redfearn said.
The suspect has been identified as Mohamed Soliman, 45.
