Jared Polis called an “act of terror.”Police arrested Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, at the scene. He shouted “free Palestine!” as he used a “makeshift flamethrower” and hurled an incendiary device at the demonstrators, said Mark D. Michalek, special agent in charge of the FBI in Denver.

Almost a year has passed, but the healing has just begun for so many survivors of the hate-filled attack on Club Q. These conversations were so difficult, and I'm grateful for these survivors' bravery in sharing their stories: https://t.co/GNpv3kjOxw
