Several of the injured in the Colorado attack were participating in a peaceful protest in favor of Israel, according to Redfearn.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), an organization dedicated to combating "anti-Semitism" and promoting pro-Israel policies, confirmed on its X account that the attack took place during an event of the "Jewish community" to call for the release of the hostages who remain in the hands of Hamas.
