Multiple blocks of downtown Boulder were evacuated Sunday afternoon after an attack on the Pearl Street Mall that Gov. Jared Polis characterized as a “heinous act of terror.”
“Hate-filled acts of any kind are unacceptable,” Polis said in a statement on social media. “While details emerge, the state works with local and federal law enforcement to support this investigation.”
Several people were injured in the attack, which occurred near the Boulder County Courthouse at Pearl and 13th streets in downtown, the Boulder Police Department said on social media.
The agency has not yet said who or what was attacked on the pedestrian mall. Information on the number of victims and the extent of their injuries was not immediately available.
The 1200, 1300 and 1400 blocks of Pearl Street were all evacuated, according to a 3:08 p.m. update from the police department.
Those blocks are bordered by Pine Street to the north, 15th Street to the east, Walnut Street to the south and Broadway to the west.
Police asked the public to avoid the area.
