Overview

• On June 6, Soliman made his first appearance in Denver federal court on a hate crime charge that carries a potential life sentence in addition to state counts.
• He faces 118 state charges—including 28 counts of attempted first-degree murder, assault on elderly victims, use of incendiary devices and animal cruelty—with a combined maximum sentence exceeding 600 years.
• Authorities say Soliman hurled two Molotov cocktails and deployed a gasoline-filled sprayer as a makeshift flamethrower at a Run for Their Lives event on June 1, injuring 15 people aged 25 to 88 and a dog, with three victims still hospitalized.
• Soliman’s wife and five children were detained by ICE after the attack, but on June 4 a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order to halt their removal as a lawsuit proceeds.
• The FBI and Department of Homeland Security have issued public alerts about potential threats to Jewish and Israeli communities as investigators continue probing Soliman’s motives and possible additional charges.
