The victim count in the attack on Jewish group “Run for their lives” Sunday grew to 15 people and a dog Wednesday as Boulder police announced taking increased steps to protect community members.

The group, which raises awareness about Israeli hostages held in Gaza, holds a weekly march through Pearl Street Mall every Sunday.

Despite last week’s firebomb attack targeted at the group, they will proceed with their regularly scheduled march at noon this Sunday, June 8.

Despite varying levels of injury, all of the victims are expected to survive, according to law enforcement officials.

The suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, is set for a hearing at 3:30 p.m. Thursday in the Boulder County Jail courtroom.

District Attorney Michael Dougherty stated, “We continue to work closely with our federal, state, and local partners in strong response to this horrific attack. We are united in our commitment to pursuing justice for all the victims, their many loved ones, and this community. We stand with the Jewish community and the people of Colorado against hate and terror.”   

Sunday’s march coincides with the Boulder Jewish Festival, which is set to take place from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. between 13th & 14th streets at the mall that same day.

According to a spokesperson from Boulder police, “Visitors should expect enhanced security measures and increased police presence. We encourage the public to ‘see something, say something’ – report any suspicious activity to an officer in the area or to dispatch. For safety in public spaces, it is important to be aware of your surroundings, let others know where you are, and follow your gut-instinct.”

Officials at the Boulder Jewish Community Center, which hosts the festival, said that they are increasing security measures as well.

“We are working closely with JEWISHcolorado’s Secure Community Network, Boulder police, and the FBI to ensure that the Boulder JCC, local synagogues, and all community events have appropriate security,” they said in a joint statement. “You may see an increased security presence at the Boulder JCC and other Jewish community events in the days ahead. These measures are precautionary, they do not indicate any known threat to the community.”

Tonight, the Boulder JCC will host a community vigil at 5 p.m. to heal after the targeted attack.

“In moments like these, our strength is in our unity. Thank you for standing together,” they said in the statement.
