"Our agents and local law enforcement are on the scene already, and we will share updates as more information becomes available," he added.
Deputy Director of the FBI, Dan Bongino, said that the agency's 'personnel are on the scene in Boulder, Colorado, along with local law enforcement’.
“We are investigating this incident as an act of terror, and targeted violence. All of the necessary assets will be dedicated to this investigation. If you have any investigative tips please contact the FBI. And if you aided or abetted this attack, we will find you. You cannot hide.”
Boulder police, meanwhile, said on X that its officers were "responding to a report of an attack at 13th and Pearl streets" in the heart of the city, "with reports of several victims."
"PLEASE AVOID THE AREA!" it added.
The Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish activist group, said on X that it was "aware of reports of an attack at today's Boulder Run for Their Lives event."
