According to the agents, the suspect was arrested and people with injuries from very serious to minor are reported.
The attack was presented when an act of support for Israeli hostages in Gaza was celebrated.
Although the FBI described it as a “selective terrorist attack,” the police said it is very soon to affirm or speculate on the mobile behind the facts and the attorney general of Colorado declared that it may be “a hate crime.”
What is known
Run for Their Lives (runs for their lives) was the group that celebrated a march when the attack occurred.
According to its website, this group organizes marches and careers throughout the world to ask for the liberation of Israeli hostages retained by Hamas.
He states that his acts are not protests, but “peaceful marches” and that there are currently 230 active groups worldwide, mostly in North America and Europe.
The groups gather once a week to walk one kilometer with red t -shirts. They also carry flags of citizens who are among the hostages still held in Gaza.
The movement was initiated by a group of Israelis in California, but local acts are “independently directed,” according to their website.
The deputy director of the FBI Dan Bongino states that what happened is being investigated as “an act of violence for ideological reasons” based on the “initial information, the tests and stories of the witnesses.”
While Danny Danon, Israel’s ambassador to the UN, reacted to the attack on social networks, describing him as “terrorism” and asking for “concrete actions.”
In a post in X, the ambassador affirms that “the Jewish protesters were brutally attacked.”
“Terrorism against Jews does not stop at the border of Gaza: it is already burning the streets of the United States,” he adds.
