From Fox NewsThe Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating a “targeted terror attack” where multiple people were set on fire Sunday afternoon near Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, Colorado.

At about 1:26 p.m. local time, officers with the Boulder Police Department were called to the county courthouse on Pearl Street for reports of a man, who had a weapon, setting people on fire, according to Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn.

The man, who has not yet been identified, was arrested at the scene without incident, Redfearn said.

The attack took place near an event put on by “Run for Their Lives,” a grassroot organization that facilitates global run and walk events calling for the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas.


“This was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in downtown Boulder on Pearl Street, and this act is unacceptable,” Redfearn said. “I ask that you join me in thinking about our victims, the families of those victims, and everyone involved in this tragedy. Our hearts go out to them, and we are going to do everything we can to work as hard as we can throughout the evening to provide more information to get answers for everyone.”

FBI Director Kash Patel Posted a statement on X, saying the attack was targeted.

“We are aware of and fully investigating a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado,” Patel said in a statement. “Our agents and local law enforcement are on the scene already, and we will share updates as more information becomes available.”
