Boulder attack now has 15 victims, officials say
DENVER (KDVR) — Boulder County officials on Wednesday morning said there are now 15 victims in the Sunday attack on Pearl Street of Israeli hostage supporters.
Mohamed Sabry Soliman is due in Boulder County court on dozens of state charges Thursday after authorities allege he threw Molotov cocktails in a Sunday attack on a peaceful gathering of a group from Run for Their Lives. He has also been charged federally, including with a hate crime.

The FBI called it a 'targeted terror attack' and said Soliman, 45, had been planning to attack a 'Zionist group' for a year.
'After receiving updated information, there are now 15 individual victims, plus one dog (16 total),' the 20th Judicial District Attorney's Office said in a press release Wednesday morning. 'The specific ages of these victims, from youngest to oldest is 25 to 88, eight victims are female, and seven victims are male.'
Two people remain in the hospital Wednesday, according to Boulder County officials.
'We continue to work closely with our federal, state, and local partners in strong response to this horrific attack,' District Attorney Michael Dougherty stated in the press release. 'We are united in our commitment to pursuing justice for all the victims, their many loved ones, and this community. We stand with the Jewish community and the people of Colorado against hate and terror.'
Dougherty, in a Monday press conference, said investigators uncovered 16 unused Molotov cocktails, and FBI Denver Special Agent in Charge Mark Michalek said these were within arm's reach of Soliman.
The Boulder Jewish Community is hosting 'Coming Together: A Community Vigil' to support the victims on Wednesday evening at 5 p.m.
