These attacks come alongside a broader rise in antisemitism, from hate crimes targeting Jews walking down the street, to efforts to marginalize, isolate, and discriminate against Jews.
FBI Director Kash Patel stated, 'We are aware of and fully investigating a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado. Our agents and local law enforcement are on the scene already.'
Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn stated, "This was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in downtown Boulder on Pearl Street and this act was unacceptable." His call to consider the victims highlighted the tragedy of the event.
