- He targeted the organization Run for Their Lives during a humanitarian walk for hostages held by Hamas and arrived disguised as a gardener to get close to victims.
- Authorities charged Soliman with 118 counts, including attempted first-degree murder and hate crimes; he faces up to 624 years in prison if convicted, according to federal officials.
- The attack injured 15 people and a dog, prompted increased security for Colorado's Jewish community, and involved ongoing federal and state investigations into the hate crime.
