Description
Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Saturday, June 7th, 2025.
Boulder continues to process the aftermath of Sunday's attack on Pearl Street Mall, where multiple people were injured during a Run for Their Lives demonstration. The suspect, Mohamed Soliman, appeared in Boulder County Court on Thursday and now faces 118 state criminal charges, including 28 counts of attempted murder. Authorities report that Soliman allegedly used makeshift flamethrowers and incendiary devices in what officials are calling a hate crime. Fifteen people ranging in age from 25 to 88 were injured in the attack, with three still hospitalized. Soliman is being held on a $10 million cash-only bond and will appear in federal court in Denver for separate federal charges. His next county court appearance is scheduled for July 15th.
In community response, Mayor Aaron Brockett has noted the outpouring of support from across the country and emphasized the city's commitment to combating antisemitism. Boulder Fire-Rescue has been praised for their quick response, with the first three fire units arriving equipped with paramedics who immediately began treating victims.
On a brighter note, the weekly Boulder Farmers Market is operating today from 8 AM to 2 PM at 13th Street and Canyon Boulevard. Local vendors are featuring early summer produce, with the first strawberries of the season making their appearance.
The Boulder Creek Festival committee has announced plans for expanded cultural performances at this year's event, scheduled for the end of the month. Applications for food vendors are still being accepted through their website until June 10th.
Weather-wise, we're looking at mostly sunny skies today with temperatures reaching the mid-80s, perfect for the Boulder Hiking Club's scheduled group hike to Royal Arch this morning. For those seeking indoor activities, the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art is hosting a new exhibition featuring local artists' interpretations of climate change.
Tonight at the Boulder Theater, local band Mountain Echoes will be performing their album release show, with doors opening at 7 PM. Tickets are still available online or at the box office.
This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
