Man helps pour water on victims in Boulder terror attack

BOULDER, Colo. (KDVR) — A man working across the street from the Boulder County Historic Court House jumped into action when he learned of an attack across the street, pouring water with help from others on victims who were set on fire. Chad Henderson was working at Pizza Colore just feet away from the scene when he heard people screaming 'fire.' He didn't think twice about filling up pitchers of water, running back and forth from his restaurant to the courthouse to help an elderly woman who was clearly in distress. Suspect charged with federal hate crime after attacking pro-Israel group in Boulder There was a somber silence in the air on Pearl Street Mall following Sunday's attacks. 'I see it every Sunday when I come by,' said Henderson. 'Every Sunday, I've been expecting something to happen.' Henderson happened to be working his afternoon shift when he heard the commotion. 'I was behind the counter. I heard people saying it was a fire,' he said. 'So, I hopped over them, saying 'excuse me, please, get out of my way.'' When he made it outside to the courthouse, he saw billowing smoke. 'I ran back into my restaurant and I started filling a pitcher with water,' said Henderson. 'Ran back towards where everything was happening at the courthouse over here, and I learned it was for a person who had been set on fire.' He was shocked, especially seeing the victim. He says she appeared to be a woman in her 80s. 'She was covered in the tarp they protest in. From her clavicle down, I could see her face and shoulders, her arms were a little bloody,' said Henderson. As he revisited the same spot more than 24 hours after the terrifying attacks, he let it all sink in. Emergency fund created for victims, Jewish safety after Boulder terrorist attack 'I won't wake up tomorrow and be the same I was yesterday by any means,' said Henderson, 'I will be OK, I was not physically injured from the attack and I did not fully witness the attack itself. I helped the people who did. I will be OK. I hope they will be, too. I know it will be a longer road for them.' Henderson says it was heartbreaking to find out an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor was among the 12 victims. He says he has met her before and even traveled to Israel with her son. He says he doesn't call himself a hero for helping out. He did what he felt anybody would do, seeing such a traumatic situation. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Petersburg resident reflects on 35th anniversary of EF-4 tornado

PETERSBURG, Ind. (WEHT) — It's been 35 years since an EF-4 tornado tore through Petersburg, killing six people and injuring dozens of others. Residents say it is a day they will never forget. 'I was about five miles away and the weather was very eerie that night,' says Brent Beck. Beck was 18 years old at the time and remembers seeing the damage a day after it happened. He says the community he loves was ripped apart. 'My dad and I got in the truck and came into town. I think we had to take several different routes… It was still dark at the time, so we could not get a real feel for it until the next day, when we came into town, and it was just total destruction. At the time, I had never seen anything like it in my whole life, I mean, the whole town was kind of in disbelief actually,' Beck says. The tornado was part of a statewide outbreak. 37 tornadoes were reported across Indiana, setting the record for the most tornadoes in a single day in state history. Petersburg was one of the areas hardest hit. The tornado destroyed 168 homes and damaged hundreds of buildings. Beck says the town was unrecognizable. 'The hardest part was Petersburg Elementary. The school basically imploded. It was a miracle that school was not in session that day; the school was gutted. It was quite a sight,' Beck says. Each year, the city places a wreath near the tornado memorial along Main Street, to recognize the lives lost. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

‘We won't tolerate it': Immigration lawyer, AG Weiser weigh in on Boulder attack

BOULDER, Colo. (KDVR) — Attorney General Phil Weiser says he is shaken by the attack in Boulder — another premeditated attack that Weiser says could have been avoided. 'What didn't happen here that we're going to be looking at, just like with the Boulder King Sooper shooting, is did someone know something and didn't know who to talk to?' Weiser said. Suspect charged with federal hate crime after attacking pro-Israel group in Boulder According to federal immigration officials, Mohamed Sabry Soliman entered the country in 2022 on a B-2 tourist visa, which is used for tourists from outside the United States to visit. The visa expired in 2023, and he applied for asylum and was awaiting approval. Asylum could take weeks, months, or in some cases, years to get approved, according to immigration lawyer Laura Lichter. 'The fact that they've applied for asylum does not necessarily protect them against deportation unless an immigration judge finds that there's a reason that that person would fear harm if they were sent back to their home country,' Lichter said. Lichter said it is up to the federal government as this case goes forward. 'It's up to the government to let that criminal process go to conclusion before they take action against the person in terms of any immigration case,' Lichter said. Weiser says he will be working with the Boulder District Attorney with the support he needs to ensure justice is served. Emergency fund created for victims, Jewish safety after Boulder terrorist attack 'We're taking action, and we hold this individual account to make a strong statement. We won't tolerate it,' Weiser said. Litcher said that immigration issues can be very complicated and Soliman's future could change depending on what happens in the days ahead with his trial and decisions made at the federal level.
