FBI Investigates Suspected Terror Attack in Boulder, Colorado
So, something really unsettling has unfolded in Boulder, Colorado, and it’s grabbing national headlines for all the right—yet deeply disturbing—reasons. The FBI has confirmed it’s investigating what they’re calling a “targeted terror attack” that took place on Sunday afternoon at the popular Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder. And yes, it’s every bit as alarming as it sounds.
Here’s what we know so far: at approximately 1:26 PM local time, police began receiving frantic emergency calls reporting that a man was roaming the area with a weapon—some even said he was setting people on fire. When officers arrived, they were met with multiple victims suffering from injuries, many of which were consistent with burns. The scene was chaotic, and while the exact number of injured hasn’t been released, officials confirmed that some of the victims were in “very serious” condition while others sustained minor injuries.
Witnesses at the scene reported that the suspect may have used petrol bombs—possibly Molotov cocktails—during the attack. It's believed that this horrifying incident occurred during a peaceful pro-Israel demonstration, a walk to remember Israeli hostages still held in Gaza. While police haven’t definitively confirmed the motive, they did acknowledge the demonstration and said they’re investigating whether the group was intentionally targeted.

The suspect, an adult male, was taken into custody without incident and transported to the hospital with minor injuries. Authorities are currently withholding his name as they dig deeper into what led to this violent outburst. Meanwhile, a vehicle of interest is also being examined by the police, and several blocks of Pearl Street remain cordoned off as part of the active crime scene.
Colorado Governor Jared Polis released a statement calling this a “heinous act of terror” and affirmed that local and federal resources are being mobilized to support both the investigation and the victims. His message was clear: “Hate-filled acts of any kind are unacceptable.”
FBI Director Kash Patel also confirmed via social media that federal agents are fully involved and treating this as a deliberate act of violence. He stressed that anyone involved—whether they carried it out or helped in any way— “will be found.” The seriousness of the situation cannot be overstated.
The Boulder community, known for its peaceful vibe and university town spirit, has been deeply shaken. What was supposed to be a beautiful Sunday afternoon turned into a nightmare for so many. Authorities are urging patience as they piece together exactly what happened, but the message is clear: this was no random act.
Investigators will likely be at the scene for quite a while, and updates are expected later tonight. In the meantime, thoughts are with the victims and their families. Let’s all hope for quick recoveries and, most importantly, answers. This incident reminds us again of the fragile balance between peace and chaos in today’s tense global climate.
