Who are the victims of the Boulder attack?
Police say there are eight victims aged 52 to 88 who were hospitalized with burns, and another four who suffered minor injuries. The victims were part of Run for Their Lives, a weekly vigil and march for Israeli captives who remain held by Hamas. So far, little information has emerged about the identity of those injured or their condition, although The New York Times reported that at least two were flown to a burn unit in nearby Denver.Leo Terrell, the chair of the Trump administration’s antisemitism task force, said one individual hospitalized after the attack was a female Holocaust survivor. She has not been named.
Johanna Schmidt told the Denver Post that her father suffered second-degree burns on his leg during the attack, though declined to share his name. Schmidt said there were “lots of other victims who were worse off” than her father.
In videos of the attack shared on X (formerly Twitter) by an account named BHflyer5, a bloodied woman is seen lying on the ground as others pour water from a nearby fountain over her wounds.
Witnesses described a chaotic and violent scene with one man recounting to Denver 7 news “people’s skin falling off their bodies and blood and cuts.”
Aaron Brooks, a Boulder resident, said on Facebook that he was cycling near the event when he heard someone cry out for a doctor and he followed the hubbub to see what was happening.
He described what he saw: “A person on fire. Blood on the sidewalk.” And the alleged assailant: “A man with no shirt and two bottles in his hands, screaming: ‘You’re burning my people!’”
Another Boulder resident, Brandon Hoover, told the Denver Post that he and his girlfriend saw flames and smelled burning flesh.
Who is Mohamed Sabry Soliman, suspect in the attack?
Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, was arrested by Boulder police after being pointed out by witnesses. Federal authorities charged Soliman with multiple felonies, at least one of which was elevated to hate crime status.Soliman is in the United States “illegally,” according to Tricia McLaughlin, a deputy Homeland Security secretary. He entered the United States on a tourist visa in August of 2022 and applied for asylum the following month, McLaughlin said. His tourist visa expired in February 2023. ABC reported that Soliman eventually obtained a work permit that expired on March 22 of this year.
