Multiple people have been injured in what the FBI called a "targeted terror attack" in the US state of Colorado. Police said a male suspect was taken into custody.Several people were injured at an outdoor mall in Boulder, Colorado, police said on Sunday. The attack occurred at a popular pedestrian mall known for attracting tourists and college students. FBI Director Kash Patel said an investigation had been launched following a "targeted terror attack." "We are aware of and fully investigating a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado," Patel said on X. He added: "Our agents and local law enforcement are on the scene already, and we will share updates as more information becomes available." He did not provide any further information while Boulder police stressed it was too soon to speculate about a motive. Suspect in hospital Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn said there were multiple injuries among the victims, ranging "from very serious to more minor." Redfearn told reporters that it was too early to discuss a motive but that witnesses were being interviewed. "It would be irresponsible for me to speculate on motive this early on," he said. "This was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in downtown Boulder on Pearl Street and this act was unacceptable," he added. "I ask that you join me in thinking about the victims, the families of those victims, and everyone involved in this tragedy." The attack occurred near a demonstration to remember the Israeli hostages who remain in captivity in Gaza. Edited by: Srinivas Mazumdaru
