BOULDER, Colo — Several people were injured, and some may have been set on fire in what federal agents are calling a terror attack at a pedestrian mall in Boulder, Colorado.

Police said a man was taken into custody. The FBI labeled the incident a “targeted terror attack” and said agents were assisting local law enforcement at the scene.

The attack happened Sunday near a demonstration calling for the release of hostages held in Gaza.

Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn said it was too early to discuss a motive, but witnesses were being interviewed.

Several blocks around the busy mall were evacuated.
