Using an incendiary device and a makeshift flamethrower, authorities say a man attacked an event calling for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza at a pedestrian mall in Boulder, Colorado , leaving at least eight people injured in what the FBI is investigating as "an act of terrorism."

The lone suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, of El Paso County, Colorado, was taken into custody at the scene after witnesses pointed him out, authorities said.

Officials have not released many details about Soliman. Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said on X that Soliman entered the U.S. in August 2022 on a B-2 tourist visa that expired over two years ago. Multiple outlets said he is an Egyptian national, including CBS and Fox News , citing unnamed sources.
