‘We saw a big flame as a tree, and someone on fire
Eyewitnesses shared information about an attack in Colorado, where a suspect used “Makshift Flamethrover” and thrown six victims to the Molotov cocktail burning six victims during a March in support of Israeli hostages. The FBI described the incident “Targeted terrorist attacks.”Ed Victor, a partner in the Run for Hiz Lives Walk, said that since the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023, this silent march has happened weekly, which aims to highlight the position of the hostages in Gaza. The group, which involves around 30 people, stops in the courtyard to get engaged in Sunday, regular songs, storytelling and the text of the names of the hostages.According to Victor, while march sometimes faces oral opposition, they maintain their peaceful procession with Pearl Street without responding. He said that passersby often show support through applause, nodes or gratitude. The possibility of a physical attack never crossed his mind.“So we stood up, rolled out in front of the old boulder courthouse, and I was really far west. And there was someone who I did not even notice, although he was making a lot of noise, but I was just focusing on my work to calm down and line, and,, from my perspective, a sudden, a sudden, a sudden, a molotav. [another marcher] It was seen, a big flame as a tree, and I saw someone saw someone on the fire, “he told CBS News.
Victor described his efforts to extinguish the fire. While one march with medical expertise participated in the injured woman, Victor remained to provide assistance with her husband. He mentioned that the volunteers quickly arrived for help with water.“I looked later,” said Street artist Peter Irish. “It was like a minute. I came out, it was anarchy, people were writing on the ground. It was painful to see, to be honest with you. It was anarchy.”
‘I saw that this big fire goes up’
Another witness said that he saw a disturbance near the courthouse taking his lunch break on Pearl Street. Concerned about potential violence, he decided to investigate the situation.“I noticed that this big fire goes up,” Brooke Cofman informed Denver’s NBC affiliated Kusa. He immediately approached the emergency services while moving towards the incident.She saw two women in her undergarments, who removed their burning dress while displaying severe burning sensation on their feet. A third woman nearby, along with leg burns, was crying in pain.Cofman became emotional describing one of the women’s appearances, given that the flames had consumed her hair, making it difficult to identify her face.“It was not just a good scene,” said Cofman.“I know it is boulder, it’s pearl street, some items are … but you don’t really think it’s going to happen here, you don’t think it’s something you are going to see, so many people hurt,” said Cofman.
‘There were people who were burning’
72 -year -old Lynn Segal, who was among about 20 participants, stated a “fire rope” shoot in front of him, followed by “two big flares”.“There were people who were burning, I wanted to help,” said Segal. “But I did not want to join the criminal.” She shared that when she supports Palestine and was wearing a Palestine shirt, she feared that she could be wrong as being associated with the attacker.The police have identified the suspect as Mohammad Sabari Solimanav. According to special agent Mark Micchake, he allegedly shouted “Free Palestine”, screaming “Free Palestine” and throwing a fire that set a fire in the crowd.
