Several law enforcement bodies were immediately dispatched to the scene. The FBI has branded the incident as an act of terrorism while local police have maintained that an investigation is still underway, with Chief Officer Redfearn adding that it is "too early to speculate motive." Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said in a statement that he was "closely monitoring" the situation while condemning the "hate-filled act," which he described as "unacceptable." President Donald Trump has also been briefed about the attack, CNN reports. A shirtless male suspect has been detained for allegedly throwing incendiary devices at a crowd of peaceful pro-Israel demonstrators Colorado's Attorney General Phil Weiser, a descendant of Holocaust survivors, said the attack appears to be "a hate crime given the group that was targeted." The pro-Israel gathering was organized by Run For Their Lives, a global initiative launched in the aftermath of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack to demand the immediate release of the Israeli hostages in Gaza. Several chapters have been launched by Jewish communities across the country since the war, including in Boulder. Smoke billows from the scene after a suspect threw Molotov cocktails at the pro-Israel protestors Boulder's Jewish community released a joint statement about the attack. "We are saddened and heartbroken to learn that an incendiary device was thrown at walkers at the Run for Their Lives walk on Pearl Street as they were raising awareness for the hostages still held in Gaza," they wrote. "Our hearts go out to those who witnessed this horrible attack, and prayers for a speedy recovery to those who were injured." "When events like this enter our own community, we are shaken. Our hope is that we come together for one another. Strength to you all."

Trump Spews Out Bizarre Conspiracy Theory That Biden Was ‘Executed' In 2020 And Replaced By Clones
President Donald Trump spewed out a bizarre conspiracy theory, claiming on social media that former President Joe Biden died in 2020 and was replaced with clones. On late Saturday night on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump shared a post from a pro-Trump account that alleged Biden was killed in 2020 and the country had been run by 'robotic engineered soulless mindless entities' during Biden's entire term. 'There is no #JoeBiden - executed in 2020. #Biden clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see. Democrats dont know the difference,' the post that Trump shared read. HuffPost has reached out to the White House for comment. Trump's wife was previously at the center of similar conspiracy theories. Back in 2019, Trump denied the rumors and conspiracy theories that flooded the internet, which claimed his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, had been replaced by a body double during his first term in the White House. 'The Fake News photoshopped pictures of Melania, then propelled conspiracy theories that it's actually not her by my side in Alabama and other places,' Trump tweeted at the time. 'They are only getting more deranged with time!' Last month, Trump entertained another conspiracy theory that Biden hid his cancer diagnosis while he was in office. The White House announced on May 18 that Biden was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. 'There are things going on that the public wasn't informed [about],' Trump alleged of Biden's diagnosis while speaking with reporters in the Oval Office on May 19. Trump then appeared to suggest that the situation should be investigated. 'Why wasn't the cognitive ability, why wasn't that discussed? And I think the doctor said he's just fine,' he continued. 'And, it's turned out that's not so. It's very dangerous. Look, this is no longer politically correct. This is dangerous for our country.'

Trump shares baseless conspiracy that Joe Biden died and was replaced by a clone
President Donald Trump has shared a baseless conspiracy theory that former President Joe Biden died and was replaced by a robotic clone. Late Saturday night, Trump, 78, shared a Truth Social post claiming his former political opponent, Biden, 82, was killed in 2020 and replaced by a clone – unbeknownst to Democrats. 'There is no #JoeBiden–executed in 2020,' the post reads. The post goes on to claim that the real Biden was replaced by 'clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities' and that 'Democrats don't know the difference.' Trump's supporters were quick to get behind his message, some sharing side-by-side memes of Biden claiming 'these are not the same people,' and others egging on Trump for 'trolling.' Some commentators pointed to Biden's earlobes, claiming that before 2020, they appeared to be unattached to his head, whereas now they are. Another even insisted that the government televised giving Biden a 'funeral cannon salute at Arlington' on his Inauguration Day. Detractors of the president, meanwhile, branded his sharing of the post 'concerning.' Trump's wife, Melania, has also been the subject of similar conspiracy theories, with some claiming a body double replaced her during his first term. The White House at the time dismissed the theories as a 'non-story.' Trump has seemingly been digging into conspiracy theories all weekend, including on Friday when he claimed CBS 'deleted' his 2015 interview with Stephen Colbert. Trump reposted a Facebook video on his Truth Social account containing heavily edited clips of his September 2015 interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. A message next to the video states: 'You are not supposed to see this video. CBS DELETED this entire episode from their official website. You will not find these segments on YouTube either.' However, a quick search on YouTube revealed otherwise. Clips from the Trump-Colbert interview are still available to be watched on the official Late Show account. One video has 17 million views.

Trump shares post saying Biden was executed, replaced with clones
President Donald Trump shared a post on social media this weekend claiming that President Joe Biden died in 2020 and was replaced with clones. Trump shared a link to the post from his personal account on Truth Social on Saturday. The post originated from a small account on the platform responding to discussions about Biden's health. "There is no Joe Biden – executed in 2020," the post says. "Biden clones, doubles and robotic engineered soulless, mindless entities are what you see." "Democrats don't know the difference," it adds, before listing a litany of hashtags. Trump added no words of his own to the post, merely sharing the link on his personal account. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital. Trump shared several links to Truth Social posts without offering his own commentary Saturday night. Most of the posts detailed Trump's efforts to return steel manufacturing to the U.S. The Saturday post comes amid new controversy over Biden's health while in office. Speculation has exploded in the days since Biden announced he has stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer, a diagnosis that typically takes years to develop. The nature of the diagnosis has led to speculation that members of the previous administration were aware of the cancer but withheld information about it from the public, even as they attempted to run Biden for a second term. Trump said he and first lady Melania Trump were "saddened" to learn of Biden's diagnosis and wished him a "fast and successful recovery" in a post on social media this weekend. "Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden's recent medical diagnosis," Trump wrote. "We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery."

Trump Shares Unhinged Conspiracy Theory That Biden Is a Robot Clone
With one repost from President Donald Trump, former president Joe Biden has joined a storied pantheon: public figures believed to have died and been replaced by clones. Not content with spreading conspiracy theories on Friday night, late on Saturday night, Trump shared a post by a supporter to his Truth Social page that claimed Biden was killed in 2020. The post reads, 'There is no #JoeBiden - executed in 2020. #Biden clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see. Democrats dont know the difference.' With this bizarre accusation, Biden joins such celebrities as The Beatles' Paul McCartney, who has been dodging rumors about his death since 1969, and Avril Lavigne, who has been plagued by a conspiracy theory involving her death and subsequent replacement by a clone since the 2000s. Trump's own wife Melania has also been the subject of similar conspiracy theories, with the idea that Melania had been replaced by a body double gaining credence during Trump's first term, prompting the White House to issue a statement dismissing the theories as a 'non-story.' Trump supporters were quick to encourage the president's repost, sharing memes and 'evidence' for the theory in the replies—one being that Biden's eye color allegedly changed in 2020, while another claims that Biden was replaced because his ear lobes suddenly appeared to be attached to his head, whereas prior to 2020 they were unattached. Other commenters pointed to side-by-side photos of Biden from the 1990s and the 2020s, as well as different signatures as further proof that Biden had been murdered, with some specifying that he had been executed by a military tribunal. It's been a conspiracy-filled weekend for Trump, with the president also reposting a conspiracy theory on Friday night that accused CBS of suppressing footage of his 2015 appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (the footage is readily available on YouTube). Biden, who is still dealing with speculation about his fitness for office toward the end of his term, recently shared that he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. The news prompted many in the MAGA-verse, including Trump, to call for Biden's White House doctor to be investigated for giving the former president a clean bill of health last July.
